Sunday Update #2
June 1, 2008
We just spoke to the cardiologist. Her heart function has significantly improved since Friday and there is little fluid left around her heart and lungs. He said that this convinced him even more that it is acute rejection. She is still scheduled for heart cath and biopsy tomorrow to determine what type of rejection and to what degree. He said that he was leaning far away from Coronary Artery Disease because of how rapidly her heart function has improved, but it couldnt be ruled out until the biopsy tomorrow.
I will update the blog with any news via text message during the procedure on Monday. I hope to post one more update tomorrow morning when we actually talk to the Transplant Cardiologist. The doctor on this weekend is not a Transplant doctor.
Thanks again for your prayers and support.
Mark and Heather

It’s good news that her heart function is improving so much. Praying that the acute rejection can be reversed with new anti-rejection drugs.

Good news that her heart function is improving. I’ll keep praying that God will continue to heal her and that she’ll be able to battle this rejection as amazingly as she has lived her whole life. Please keep us updated, Heather.
