The biopsy results are in and the IVIG is complete so now we focus on wrapping up our final day in Durham and packing the truckster for the journey home tomorrow.
The initial results from the biopsy showed no signs of rejection. A big relief! The IVIG so far, has not produced expected flu like symptoms. That's OK with her.
Overall results of this visit:
No evidence of rejection at this time (lab still following sample)
IVIG complete without complications thus far
Reduction in mg. doses of two anti-rejection meds
Stopping the insulin injections (providing routine checking indicates reasonable range)
Removed the feeding tube and must now rely 100% on nutritious diet--more than just chocolate
Blood tests catagories within reasonable ranges
Joy must write a letter to transplant team to request donor information
Three month return in September--"3 months---what will we do with our time" ????
NOW, if she only felt better!
