Just wondering...sometimes after the call, it doesn't work out?

There have already been so many bronchs. All tests come back good, which is great. There is an issue with the left "connection" being weak and needing ballooning...which they may have to stent. So, every week a bronch is scheduled but can be deleted as long as his daily spirometer tests stay good. There is so much to do every day -- forever. God bless him. We were so nervous because he began coughing more and just didn't sound good. Turns out to either be medication or most recently this weak connection. So scary.
If there's one recommendation I can make to anyone coming to Jacksonville for a lengthy stay ... Avoid the Mayo Inn. The rooms are filthy. Needs shut down and renovated. The filth is shocking.

I hope that you mentioned the room condition to the management of the motel. I have never been in Jacksonville so I am unfamiliar with it. You are correct in stressing the need for safe environment for transplant patients. I want to add that this motel is not associated with the Mayo Clinic, other than locational name.

@myson I'm glad he's doing so well. It's sad and scary that you lodging was so bad. When you need so much cleanliness, a dirty room is the last thing you need.
