4th Biopsy
Hello everybody,Time for another update on Jennifer. She had her fourth biopsy done yesterday. Her rejection level was a 1b, which was slightly worse than the last biopsy. The doctors here aren't worried, so they're leaving her medications alone. She also had a full heart catheterization done, which included the left side of her heart and coronary arteries (the arteries which actually supply the heart with blood). Her heart is functioning great, and that is the most important thing. She had some pain in the groin at the site where they entered the artery, so they were worried that she may have had some bleeding at that site. They kept her in the hospital overnight for observation. This morning, she had a CT scan done which didn't show any bleeding and her blood counts stayed the same so they discharged her. After all of that, they said it was OK for her to go home. We will be driving to Cincinnati tomorrow morning! Yeah! We're very excited about that. A lot has changed since Jenn was last home 6 weeks ago. We have to return in 2 weeks for a repeat biopsy, so, hopefully, we won't have any news before then.Thanks to all of you for your support. Thanks especially to Jenn's friends in Atlanta for organizing the Have a Heart Benefit and the website. It looks great! Unfortunately, I'll be in Chicago taking my Emergency Medicine board certification exam, so I won't be able to attend. I'd rather be at Park Tavern!!! Somebody have a drink (or two) for me!Talk to y'all later,Chad
