I just spoke with Patty and Dr. Horslen is 99% sure Sarah is having acute liver rejection. This isn't completely a surprise. She has been off her anti-rejection med for several weeks now, in order to fight off the EBV. From what Dr. Horslen has said, they are more concerned with the EBV, and what it can do/cause, so they would rather eliminate that and deal with a rejection if it comes.
The biopsy could come back tomorrow and show negative (PLEASE!) but Patty and Sarah are going to be admitted for at least tonight and then tomorrow will reveal if its going to be the full meal deal of 4 days.
Sure, it's frustrating and I would be lying if I said it wasn't. What bugs me the most is that tonight is Katarina's first Christmas concert as part of her preschool class and Patty will be missing it. This is when I need a blasted video camera! Guess I'll have to add that to my Christmas list.
Thanks for your continued prayers. Patty is feeling a little bit under the weather and is exhausted. Please lift her up and that Sarah would not be fussy during her stay at Children's.
I am praying tonight for your precious family. May you feel the peace that passeth understanding as you await the biopsy results. Also praying for healing for Sarah.

I can't imagine what your going through - just reading your story is exhausting - I am so sorry for your troubles - your defintely in my prayers - who said life on earth is a bowl full of cherries, its a difficult journey for so many of us - but there are always blessings - so give thanks for those - fight, fight, fight.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mindy and Sandee. We're hanging in there and just happy to be together for Christmas. It really is my favorite time of the year.
