Plan Change: HOME TOMORROW!

Shayna's liver has a case of Mild Rejection with no trace of damage from the EBV.  We will slightly up her dose of Prograf and put her on Prednisone (a steroid) to mildly suppress her immune system some more.  Yes, this is playing with fire as a lowered immune system gives the EBV a chance to proliferate.  We'll be back to weekly labs at NRV Carilion and just hope things get better and the EBV doesn't go crazy.  I've got to pack and clean the Ronald McDonald room and I do not drive well when tired so we're heading home first thing in the morning.  Yay!!!

  1. Very glad to hear that EBV is not the culprit. Of course I'll hope along with others that the rejection gets under control without a resultant infection. Be safe on your trip home.

  3. Good for you for not pushing yourself and driving home when you're pooped. I do so enjoy your posts. I'm off on adventures to Great Basin NP and then Lake Mead next week. Love, Carole
