Sigh

It looks like I will be spending the weekend in the hospital. My pulmonologist has decided to take a wait and see attitude on my lung to see if it will inflate on it's own. My cardiologist wants to do further testing, but has decided to wait until the lung is better.
All in all, I can't complain, I guess. I have a private room - which is much nicer than a long term stay I did a few years ago, where I had a roommate with an abdominal infection, who didn't like to bathe....and the room never got below 85 degrees due to construction being done on a floor above - yuck. So, I guess I am resolved - but I sure wish the food was better! I can hardly stand to look at (or smell) what is on the tray. Tonight Mark is bringing up pizza - thank the Lord! I can just tell the aide to take my tray away and avoid the smell/sight factor. :-)
I have to take time to give my coworkers a nod. For those that don't know (I know this blog has been passed to others who don't know me personally) I am a teacher of special needs students at Millard South High School, a school district in Omaha, NE. We have the same students for 4 years, so we get very attached. I haven't had to worry one bit about my students thanks to my co-teacher, substitute and paras (although I do miss interacting with them during the day). Another coworker stepped up and took over my re-eval testing. If you have read the comments, some people in my department have teased me about writing some of their IEPs (paperwork we must do on each individual student) since I am just lying around, but I know any one of them would do my student's IEPs for me if I asked. It is so nice to know that people have your back. They have all been awesome, and deserve kudos.
Dear friends and family, please pray for my lung to resolve on it's own, that the inflammation from the procedure heals quickly, and that my heart continues to stay in rhythm and stay strong. A few words about my cancer going into remission would be appreciated, too. God bless you all!
