5%

So my cold (or whatever it may be) did affect lung function, it's down by 5% to 94% :-( Also feels kind of like my cold keeps on coming back in terms of nose and throat. UUGGGHHHH so frustrating. Because of the drop in LF I have to have a few tests done... did CT scan, sputum and additional bloods (did normal bloods on Sunday and they were all normal) yesterday. Today I have to go for barium swallow to test for reflux (been having some heartburn) and tomorrow my first ever biopsy/bronch post transplant! Eeeekkkk. These days they do the biopsies a lot more often on the newly transplanted guys at 3-monthly intervals but "back in my day" it was only done when needed. Will update as soon as I have have any test results back, should definitely hear about the bloods. Praying they find what's wrong and that it can be fixed soon!

Tricia has had a bronch every 3 months since her transplant....that's pretty common in the states.

Praying for nothing but good news from your testing.
