It looks like I am in the early stages of rejection. Numbers have given my team cause for concern, but there is a plan in place to administer high dose IV steroids starting tomorrow morning to see of we can stop the rejection from progressing further.
On a much brighter note, during an ultrasound I got to hear the kidney's "heartbeat", and I commented that this must be what it feels like when a mom hears her baby for the first time.
I'm OK. Just a little shell-shocked and very very tired. My faith in my team remains unshaken, and I know if anybody can figure it out...they can. They assure me that this does happen, and that in most cases the steroids do the trick, and I will be back to the business of recovery quickly.
Please keep the happy thoughts and bear with me while I navigate these steroids!
Prayers and hugs heading your way!

ReplyDeleteSounds wacky, but visualize your body hugging YOUR new kidney, wrapping it with its warmth and health, and welcoming it to its new home. Seriously! Create vivid pictures in your mind of your kidney all snug and happy. You do that and we’ll all keep sending prayers up.
