My Clinic appt. yesterday was great!  My spirometry is up on both numbers, and the x-ray looks good.  I don't remember the last time I didn't get some sort of comments about shadows or minor things on the pictures.  I still haven't heard what the blood test levels were, so I hope that the Prograf levels are still stable.  I did find out one interesting thing however.  When Dr. B was trying to to find out how many times I was actually treated for rejection, he was going through all my previous bronch results.  It turns out that I tested positive for RSV shortly after the transplant!  Now that shocked me.  I have been tested for that in the past, and I always came back negative.  Dr. B said they were very surprised.  I was too!  LOL  It is a really bad virus for preemies and infants/toddlers.  In the fall the hospital at Cooks was always a "dangerous" place to be because I had to be careful not to catch RSV from someone in the hospital.  I find it ironic that I tested positive for it in an adult hospital while in strict confines.  I could have caught it myself, but I wonder if my new lungs already had it.  I guess that I will never know, but at least I got past it without any bad results. 

On the good side of things, we are buying a house!  We have completed the option period (I believe, or within one day of it) and are just waiting for the VA to complete all the paperwork and get it back to the lender.  The new house is just around the corner and about 4 blocks down from GrammyRose.  The kids are very excited!  We could close on the house next Friday at the soonest.  I hope that I remember to do laundry and cook for more than just one. :P

It is exciting about the house. I'll bet you quickly figure out about the laundry and the cooking....
As for the RSV, that is interesting. Did Dr. B. not know it at the time? If so, did Dr. R. know? Wow. I am so grateful that you came through that fine. I am also grateful that everything looks good. I, too, hope the blood work shows the Prograf levels holding steady.
