Emma’s BMP (B-type natriuretic peptide) is very high, which is indicative of heart failure. The normal is 100 or less (its not unusual for Em to be in the 2-300’s in the last year) , Em’s is 759. We just redrew her blood to rule out human error- please pray that it is normal or at least a heck of alot lower when the results come back. New labs just came back- 609, waiting for Em’s transplant coordinator to call me back from Gainesville
Her CRP is also slightly high, which is indicative of an infection.
I’m going to go take a shower – the new test results should be back between 8-9 Eastern. Ill Update when I can.
Yet you, God, are sovereign still, always and ever sovereign.
-Psalms 102:11

Heather,
Parker’s BNP has been as high as 1700 and has they have been able to address the infection it has come back down. Parker has a BNP pulled each month.
Funny as it sounds it is kinda good that there is an infection which I am sure is why the BNP is up. The infection clears, and it WILL, and the BNP will come back down. It may be a slow process. It’s a nerve wracking roller coaster, but you have such amazing people praying for you.
You and Emma are so incredibly loved.
Praying right now.
the boys and I prayed for Emma last night, and we will continue to pray for a good report!!
You are so positive and strong, I wish I could be there with you, let me know if you need anything at all.
Praying in Oklahoma.
