2 years! Today is the day!

Grant spent 3 days last week completing his annual transplant check up.  I think I counted 14 appointments across the week plus a biopsy and angiogramin the cath lab!  

He received a mostly clean bill of health!  He has started to develop donor specific antibodies that COULD lead to rejection if they aren't addressed.  He has been incredibly lucky to have not experienced rejction so far.  He will increase all of immunosuppressive medications and do another blood test in a month to see if the antibody count lowers.  If it doesn't, his team will come up with plan B.  He had an echo as well, during the scan they found a "pinpoint' size hole in his ventricle septum.  No one really has an answer about where it came from.  It is small enough that his doctor believes it will close on its own.  He will have a repeat echo in 3 months to verify. 

As always we thank his donor, Josh, for the precious gift of life! Remember to check the donor box this year when you renew your driver's license.
