Journal entry by Mike Connell —
I have some fantastic news!
My heart biopsy came back and I have a rejection level of 1R!!! This is second to 0. It basically means that I have a tiny bit of inflammation, but no true rejection or anything that requires treatment. My first biopsy in July, 2022 I was also a 1R. My second biopsy in October was a zero. They said it really just depends on what part of the heart they take the biopsy from.
So-we are celebrating and leaving for a two-week driving trip to South Dakota on Monday morning to see some good friends and explore the Black Hills and Badlands of SD. Let the summer fun begin!
I would not be where I am today without all of your love, support, prayers, and of course the grace of God. I am so thankful and blessed!
Love,
Shay
