HI! It's Cassie :D. So it's been a while. But. I am alive. I promise. :D So things have been great. No rejection. No infection. AND... wait for it... I am almost SIX MONTHS OUT! :D We did find out I have Osteoporosis (?) I start an I.V. treatment July 1st for that. It's an I.V. every other month. Next month is my 6 month bronch. So we'll see what that shows. I also got a test done to see how bad my acid reflux is, cause if it's bad then there's a surgery they would want to do. Cause acid reflux can cause rejection. The results came back borderline. They are a little higher then the normal result... but they are still concerned cause I refluxed 23 times during the portion of the 24 hour test. And since I am on such high meds they would have to do the surgery. But it's doable. That's about it medically. Got some personal news. :D I am going to be going on a concert spree! :D I have been dying to go since before the transplant. July 18th is Jonas Brothers :D. August 28th is Taylor Swift :D. Then Sugarland :D. I am so excited. Since the last update Steph (my sister) got married. She moved down to North Carolina with her husband. He's a marine. I have also just recently started taking guitar lessons. I love it. I also decided I wanted to try and pursue singing. Well. I think that's it. it's kinda late. So I'll update later. In the meantime... enjoy my new picture.
THANKS :D
Cassie
