Have had several emergencies since my last post that required intervention and am currently stable enough to post. I was told that transplant is not an option for me due to several negative factors, age, and other health issues being the most critical. My condition is listed as stage 4 (end stage) COPD with advanced bronchiectasis and severe atelectasis (round). I wanted to update what is going on presently and thank everyone for their previous posts. I will post when I can.

@usmccam

I am sorry to hear about all of your emergencies. I am glad that you find yourself stable enough to post again. We will all "hold on to hope" for you as you deal with this difficult disorder.

We care about you and look forward to hearing from you whenever you can post.

@usmccam- Good morning. I hope that today will be another stable day for you and that you will continue to have more of them. I'm very disappointed that you are not a candidate for a transplant. The infections that you have are so stubborn and they just don't want anyone interfering with their presence. They are like cancers, well in a way, kind of... I'll look forward to hearing from you when you next post. Are their TV or videos that you are watching that keep you amused when you are strong enough to watch?

@usmccam Glad you are able to post again. Was wondering how you are doing. Darned, was hoping for a lung transplant for you. Please take care fo yourself as you go through this. Also when you feel able, keep us posted as to how you are doing. I hope you are comfortable and still able to do the beautiful graphics work you do. I am still pulling for you and am improvements to your health despite what is said. You remain in my prayers and thoughts. God bless you always. Mary

@usmccam, It is a blessing to hear from you this morning. I hope that you can get some peaceful healing rest as your body works to strengthen itself. I would like to send you a gentle hug.

@usmccam Good morning. Thanks for your update. You've been an inspiration to us, and I was wondering, what inspires you? Who are your heroes? I'm praying for you and wish you peace. If you are unable to answer, I understand. We all care about you and wish we could do more to help.

@usmccam, Hi there. I too am sorry to hear of your recent setbacks. I wish like hell you weren't going through this. Still keeping you in my prayers. Haven't posted for a few days because I have been a jurist most of the week on a criminal case. It was sad and emotionally draining. I am pet sitting now for a friend down in Florida, so I will also enjoy this time as a vacation as well. I brought my fishing pole and will try to catch some dinner over the weekend. It lifts my heart when you are able to post your replies, and understand when you can't. Sending you cyber hugs.
