List!!!

I am officially on the LUNG TRANSPLANT LIST!!!!!! Yay!!!!! 

Dalton is also doing better. He has had a rough past few days. He was on the ventilator and wasn't doing too well. Thankfully things are starting to look up for him. -Katie

Update

I'm feeling really sick. I'm worse than I was last week. My breathing is so bad I literally want to crawl the 10 feet to the bathroom. Bipap is being used during the day and settings need to be readjusted. My blood levels bounce around and stay out of whack. Kidneys are problematic. I've never ever felt this bad before. I keep reminding myself that good things are coming! My transplant is gonna get here and I'm gonna LIVE not just survive. I have more mental strength than I will ever have physically! I'd give anything to go home, even the doctors would like for me to go home because it'd be good for my mind but I just can't make it. I really want my family to come to me. More than anything. 

Good news update: I've been accepted by insurance and UPMC to be reevaluated!!!!! Still not out of the woods yes but it's actually starting to happen. I can't believe it!!!! Please God let this process work out. I need it more than anything. I should be getting transferred by air within the next few days.

I love you guys

Lonely

I'm just feeling down today. I am lonely even if I have visitors. I want to go home. Maybe next week I will get to go home for a bit before going to Pittsburgh they said. I miss my dogs. I miss living. I hate seeing everyone around me live and go about their normal lives when all I do is sit here and get pumped full of meds to stay alive. It sucks. It really sucks. Today just sucks. -Katie

Saturday

The days drag on but go by so fast. I'm feeling sad today. I don't know why. -Katie

I Miss You

Oh Mamaw, I wish you were here to see and read everything going on. You'd be hootin and a hollerin (your words not mine)! I miss you every single day. I don't go a minute without thinking about you I feel like. It's not a bad thing. Reality still hasn't set in yet since after your funeral I came straight to the hospital. I miss calling you. Come visit me tonight in my dreams. I'd love to tell you everything for myself. I love you. Good night. See you soon. ❤️ -Katie
