Not Good News

Phew ! that was a close one. I am convinced if it were not for all your prayers, this ole boy would not be posting this note of appreciation right now.

Yes I have been home a few days but just dint feel up to messing with computer. For those that might be interested, I live with lung problems and use oxygen 24/7, but have done fine until recently. A GIANT BULLAE (bul-lie) had attached itself to my left lung and grown to the size of a foot ball, crowding the lung to point of collapse. So I was rushed to OSU Medical center and they performed a BULLECTOMY. AKA removed the giant bullae from my lung cavity.

I was told that I would probably be on a ventilator for a few days after surgery. When I woke up in recover, the first thing I noticed was NO VENTILATOR. I was half sitting up in bed, no pain and breathing on my own.

Yes prayers do work. For those that would like to learn more about this disease, this site has a few one minute videos of the procedure.

Once again thanks to everyone who sent prayers, I am still here and very grateful. Special thanks to KW and Nana for posting updates along the way.
 
Love you and Barb, Chuck! We are so thankful for the answers to prayer on your behalf! :pepper:
 
Please continue to lift Chuck in your prayers…. He was hospitalized over the weekend again with high temperature and pneumonia. He is home again today, but this continuous struggle all winter is just beating him up!!! I'm hoping spring weather will arrive soon and that the warmth will make a positive difference for his lungs.
