Holy cow! I didn't think it was that long since the last time I posted on my blog! But, I guess it was!
Lots has happened...
Eryn received a kidney transplant on October 3rd, 2007. She did very well. We unfortunately had a reoccurance of the FSGS in the new kidney. So the antibodies in her blood are trying to damage the new kidney. They are trying to make it better by giving her ACE inhibitors (which somehow effect the way this disease progresses) and we will be starting a chemotherapy drug called Rituximab in a few weeks.
She had a biopsy last week that showed no form of rejection and no scarring. She did have some inflammation which can turn into scarring and damage the kidney. But that is why they will be trying to combat the disease with the meds. She will be going into the hospital in a few weeks to have her dialysis catheter removed and have a port placed. She gets weekly labs and weekly doctors appointments that really keep us busy!
Riley is getting ready to turn 1 in a few weeks!! WOW!!
Thomas is still plugging away up in CID... keeping himself busy!
I start classes tonight at BCC. Only 4 more left until I get my degree!! YIPPEE!
Here are a few of my recent digital scrap pages. Thought I would share!!
I hope all goes well for your baby ....my father in law recieved a double kidney transplant last year as well , he is doing ok now but i know how draining the whole experience can be ....
