Getting Stronger
I wanted to send out another update on Jenn's progress. She continues to get stronger every day. She is able to walk about 15 mins. at a time a few times a day, so that is improving. She had her third biopsy done, an echocardiogram and blood testing done yesterday. The heart is functioning great on the echo. Her biopsy results came back this afternoon. The rejection is down to Class 1a, which is very mild. The scale runs from from 0 to 4. Zero means no rejection, and four means significant rejection. The classes are 0, 1a, 1b, 2, 3a, 3b and 4. On the first two biopsies, she was class 3a, so she has improved from that standpoint also. It is likely that the rejection classes will change from one biopsy to another which would mean medication adjustments. If she were ever class 4, then she would require hospitalization for IV steroids. If her biopsy next week is OK, then there is a good chance that we will be able to return to Cincinnati. Thanks to all of you for your continued support.Sincerely,Chad
