Bill saw the dr. this morning and she was pleased that he was doing better and looked better. She said his chest still sounds tight and he's still wheezing some, but not like he was before. He's still getting winded some, but had a good night last night.
He's sitting without his oxygen now to see how he does without it.
I heard from Stephanie and she talked to Dr. Patel who wants some tests run. They also want to see him in the next couple of weeks. We can have 1 of the test run at the dr. office, but the others have to be done at the hospital. He's really leary of the hospital now, but I told him it will be on an outpatient basis and they are non-invasive. They want a chest CT, a Pulmonary Function Test and an Echo. The PFT can be done in the dr. office. Once those tests are done they will schedule some follow-up appointments at Mayo. I told Stephanie that Bill would feel better going to Mayo than Memphis. Since things will be done last minute, I'm hoping that we will be able to get rooms at the last minute.
I'll update again when we know when the test will be done. It's looking up for now...finally.
I can't blame him for being leery, after everything he's been through!
