Lindsay Dawn & The Lung Journey: What a Day

I haven't blogged in a few days, so I should probably catch you all up to speed. We moved into the apartment homes on Tuesday and what a relief for Lindsay. We had a small unexpected welcome home dinner. We had several guests and we are only allowed to have 2. Just a few friends of Lindsay's, but we also had our 1st noise complaint and we were not even there for 24 hours. We learned our lesson. Unfortunately Lindsay had a hard time getting to sleep, so we went from the bed to the recliner, back to the bed and then finally the recliner. Since she is not in a hospital bed, it is hard for her to be comfortable because it is still tough for her to lay down flat. I am glad I brought my own pillow because we used every pillow to prop her up. Oh what a night and we didn't get enough or much sleep at all. On top of that we had a busy day with getting medications ready, blood draws, x-rays, viewing the old lungs and then clinic. Clinic is just an appointment to meet with the transplant team to make sure Lindsay is recovering well, (and she is) answer any questions or concerns we have. So far so good besides the dream/hallucinations. They say it is most likely some of the medications and the fact that her body has been through so much. Most of the meds she will be weened off in time and some will go to a lower dose. After we got home, Jared came over to give me the night off so I can go to school and to spend time with his sister. We will have to see if he survives this night and if he will come back. I'm sure he will I just like to give him a hard time. Not much has happened since we discharged, but Lindsay is taking it slow and trying to rest every opportunity she has. If she has nights like she did last night she will be napping a lot. The doctors also want Lindsay to walk around, be active and live a normal life. Of course it will take her time to get back to 100% normal (or better), but it is good for her to get out and go on a walk, or the store.
