Things here have been going well here. Eryn's infusions have been going well. Her last hospitalization was back in May and she is now OFFICIALLY off the "benefit period" from her transplant!! (Medicare requires patients to go 60 calendar days between inpatient visits. After a certain number of visits, the patient starts using up "lifetime days".)
BUT... She is going back in on Wednesday. Her creatinine levels have been rising over the past couple of weeks and they want to do a kidney biopsy to see if she is in rejection. We will be going back to Florida Hospital... We aren't too happy with that since we really don't like the hospital much. We would prefer to go to Arnold Palmer, but the Doc doesn't seem to like APH much. Unfortunately, we don't like Florida Hospital much. They are really lacking in their care and I don't like the hospital or the area it's in. But, we don't have a choice.
We are expecting to be there for about 4-5 days. If she is in rejection, one of the treatments is Solumedrol over three days... And it will take until Thursday to get the results back.
But I will have time to get some scrapping done and relax a little. FUN.
Happy blogoversary!
