Operation: Thursday Biopsy

Ok...so you can tell I'm tired of boring blog titles. Time to spice it up a little.

I'd prefer nothing be spiced up when it comes to hospital visits but we just try to roll with the punches. Having officially "struck out" on waiting three months for our next clinic visit (this is our third try and third failure to make it that far), Sarah is set up for another liver biopsy Thursday morning.

The festivities get under way with labs prior to 730, an ultrasound right after and then her biopsy about 915-930. Her AST level is over 300 which has caused some concern. The EBV level came back at 4500. The transplant team is a bit confused about this increase since she is on the minimum dosage of .5mg twice per day. Her immune system should be awake enough to do a better job of fighting it off. The only time she's been on a lower dosage is when we had the adventure during her last rejection adventure.

We appreciate your continued prayers. We're covered for childcare which is a major blessing. Just hoping the hospital stay is one night.
