the sick house.....

Well, it's official, my kids have the stomach bug. Amanda was up all night. I'm just waiting and wondering when it's going to hit me and Donna. Donna is really great about sterilizing everything. I think she sleeps with that can of lysol next to her! Ironically though, she is always the one that ends up getting sick and I always seem to dodge the bullet. I hope I'm that lucky this time I don't think my body can handle anymore weight loss. I'm down to 155 and I would really like to put on at least 10 more pounds before I leave for the transplant. I have always been the same weight for as long as I can remember, a fit 175. I was alway a jogger and would run almost every day when I was healthy.I played sports and at one point i was playing softball almost 6 nights a week. When Dr. Burt examined me in Chicago he told me that I was very fortunate i was athletic, because i have incredible lung capacity compared to the extensive damage that I have in my lungs. Thanks everyone for your posts, emails and phone calls of support they really do mean alot to me. Sorry these posts are so spread apart, (as i was reminded by Paul) but as soon as I hear anymore news from the hospital I will be posting more frequently. p.s. Paul have a great trip and stay out of the sun!
