Time for a 'tune up'?

It is amazing how quickly time passes us by and we notice it more than most I reckon, counting most often in 3 monthly intervals.  This because it is usually about 3 months between admissions for NiQi and leading up to her going in there are certain little tell tale signs that we notice as indications of her needing to have a 'clean out'.

Her chest becomes filled with mucous quicker and she has difficulty coughing it out.  She sleeps more restlessly, tossing and turning, not being able to fall asleep till later at night.  Her appetite decreases, not feeling hungry and has to force herself to eat and drink her shakes.  She becomes more breathless and battles to keep going, pushing herself to do more.  She finds she needs to use the oxygen more frequently and for longer.  All these things about her daily life tell us that the days are getting closer to her being admitted for treatment.


Next Wednesday, she has her next clinic appointment and I am sure her doctor will decide then when will be a good time for her to go in....and if planned well she should be home and on top of the world come Christmas time.
