Tanya's Lung Transplant 15: 9/13/09

It's been two weeks since Tanya got moved to her new room, and her progress has still been good. She has been very physically active and her spirometer numbers keep going up. The only thing she's connected to now is the feeding tube, and the GI doctors won't do her nissen fundoplication surgery until she does a "bravo" test, which is scheduled on Tuesday. They have been giving us a hard time about getting the nissen surgery, saying she "doesn't need it" or something, even though it's pretty obvious that she's been aspirating contents of her stomach into her lungs.
