All the Results

So I'm going to backtrack a little here. I forgot to post about my first appointment with Dr. Trapnell since transplant :)

My weight was down (98lbs) since I'd been so sick. The Tuesday before my appointment I spent the afternoon in the ER getting IV fluids and anti-nausea meds. I wasn't even able to keep water down that day... ack! So I got a prescription for dissolvable anti-nausea pills and those helped to at least get my meds and a little bit of food down. Cleveland had also stopped my Cellcept which they think was the culprit. My lung function is still holding at about 63% and I couldn't be happier!!

The following Monday was when I got the phone call from Cleveland saying that they wanted to admit me. I had my bronch on Tuesday, came home Wednesday. On Friday they called and told me that I had (*drum roll*) No Rejection!! Plus, the fluid from my pleural effusion (the fluid around my lung that they tapped) didn't have any signs of yeast yet. Keep your fingers crossed that those results stay the same!! It takes a long time for yeast to grow, so there's still a possibility that it could show up but I've decided that it's not going to grow anymore ;)

I went for my bloodwork today and my white blood count is still climbing - I'm at 4 now. Remember 7-10 is "normal" so I'm half-way there! I should be allowed to go into public without a mask as of Friday (it marks 3 month post-tx) but I may keep it a while longer with that count being so low. But I'm definitely ready to be without that mask and not have people staring so much. Especially right now with the whole swine flu scare stuff. I guess I really SHOULD keep my mask though with all of this going on... Oh well, gotta have SOMETHING to complain about :P
