Another biopsy tomorrow

Time will tell its tale after we get results from a biopsy that is being done Tuesday morning. We should know about the cellular rejection tomorrow by end of day and about how the kidney is holding up with the high antibodies by end of day Wed.

Maria had another treatment today - plasmapheresis, solumedrol, and the chemo drug. It sure does take it out of her. And her poor arm where her shunt is being accessed is very swollen and bruised. She's not allowed to lift over 5 lbs with that arm. You don't realize all the things you lift in a day over 5 lbs with your dominant arm until you aren't supposed to do it! Add having a disabled toddler in the house and well, you get the idea.

She has been an absolute champ considering the high doses of steroids she's been getting! I would be crawling the walls and taking everyone's heads off!

We leave early in the morning for the hospital. I'll post results as they come in.

Thank you as always for your continued love, prayers, and support! It surely does take a village!
