Turning a corner?

Today's news was all much more positive!

The doctor who saw her today thought that the treatment is already showing signs of working and stopping the rejection! I try not to think about the damage the kidney has suffered in the meantime and the years it takes off its life and just be grateful for every day it does its job.

Because my Maria follows her own path even with her illnesses, a whole team got together today and reviewed her case. They have determined they still want to do plasmapheresis. I'm not sure when that will get scheduled - perhaps Thurs or Fri. Her central line went in today and they have decided she can get a porta cath when that comes out. That's a more permanent access so they won't have to keep doing central lines.

She is getting her thymo treatment tonight and she hasn't answered the phone so I'm thinking they had to knock her out again.

No one is speaking the d word yet - discharge. It will very likely not happen until Fri or Sat.


Meanwhile, this boy wants to be back in Mama's arms! He started back at conductive education today.
