we received some bad news today. our last blood test that patrick and i sent to mayo overnight did not pass this week and my looming infection has lead to the cancellation of the kidney transplant. it has been a sad day, but i am feeling better now. they are going to retest our blood for a crossmatch (high crossmatch= no transplant) again in about 3 weeks. meanwhile we head to anchorage so i can have yet another surgery and replace this infected catheter.
the docs think this infection is causing high antibody cross match numbers and that the numbers could possibly come down(down is good) and we could move further towards a transplant again by maybe August. so as quickly as it was scheduled, we wait again.
on the bright side, i have one more written comp tomorrow and then i am done with exams!
