Duke does not want to see me anymore!!

It has been a while since I last posted and I have some great news!

Since last writing I have been to my pulmonologist a couple of times and just got back from Duke on Tuesday the 21st. Since first diagnosed my Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) has shown a 51% lung function in Nov 07, again in Jan 08, then in April of 08 at Duke my lung function went up to 61%. On Monday my numbers are now 70%. That is a huge increase in lung function and I feel it.

I also have been going to pulmonary rehab for the last few months and it also has shown steady increase in ability.

Let me be clear - this is not supposed to happen. Pulmonary Fibrosis does not get better. And yet I do not have even the slightest hint of it in my lung sounds now. The velcro sound is gone. (again - something that does not go away). My doctors are stumped. They think I was misdiagnosed even though evaluated by Mayo clinic, Duke, and a local pathologist.

Today in my study of Moses I was asked the question "Can you relate a time when you were put in impossible circumstances and God delivered you, thus bringing glory to Himself?"

Can I ever! Prayer works folks. I continue to offer God the praise and ask for Him to bring me back fully. Thank you for your prayers as well.
