Wasn't due back to the Dr until the end of the month, but shortness of breath issues
had him call on Friday, and went in today. Yes, in emergency we woukd have quickly gone to ER with a call to LVAD coordinator on the way.....
Lab, chest xray, then echocardiogram..... no swelling, lungs clear, so did a increase on diuretic, and ramped up his pump rpm's.... faster the pump, faster the push of blood to cells... 5600 to 5800.... he said walking in the house that he could already feel the difference....
Going to do a pulmonary function test on wed, then back to Dr a week from today...
later this month, he will be seeing an Endocrine Doc for his diabetes.....
I talked about seeing Dr Ransom everywhere.... saw him as we were waiting to get xray, on 3rd floor at Heart Transplant Center, he said, he might not get to see us because of a transplant.. So then up to 4th floor for clinic, he came through the wait room again, said he would get to see us....... ..
later, when we were in the room, and we did get to see him, we found out the transplant didnt happen.... we would have seen one of the other doctors.... both Dr Campbell and Dr Narisetty were in the hall at different times....
Then got a text from Tori with dates and times of other appointments and she will text up when his labs are done.....
Thank you all......
Edit:
Well.... labs were not very good.... INR was scary blod clot low, so I ended up going to pharmacy to get blood thinner injections, 1 tonight, 2 tomorrow, 1wed, then go back to clinic on Wed for another INR check....
