Deep Cough

Posted on November 8, 2012 by NikkisNewLungs

Well, my sinuses aren’t as full as they’ve been in the last couple of weeks. However, I am now dealing with a deep congested cough. I feel like my “shaking” machine and I are attached at the hip. I have been getting up early in the morning to do an extra treatment, sleeping, and repeating this process throughout the day. I have been shaking every five to six hours. My lungs are struggling more then usual. Stairs are usually an indicator for me. I normally have to pause to catch my breath when I reach the top of a flight of stairs.  But recently, the stairs have become an even greater challenge. The good news is, I think I am finally at the tail end of this cold!

    We are praying for you Nik! This is just hard, I know. You still sound like you’ve got your chin up.

    Nikki,
    Your story is one of the things that motivates me in working with families. Please know that every time I go out I have you in the back of my mind and thinking maybe this is the one that can give you the gift of breathing again.

    Hi Nikki,
    We are thinking of you! Remember February is right around the corner! Grace received her gift early, so maybe yours will be in January. Hang in there!
