Well, I am sure some of you know by now that Trish is back in the hospital. Her body continues to reject the liver. We were here a week ago and they administered 3 aggressive steroid treatments. Unfortunately it wasn't successful. Tonight she starts on a different immunosuppressant called thymoglobulin (a product from the gland of a rabbit). This is very aggressive and will really knock down her immunity system. This can come with some negative side effects, so they are going to administer the first treatment over 12 hrs. The next 3 treatments will be given over the next 4 to 8 days depending how her body can handle it. Hopefully this allows the oral anti rejection meds to take hold and keep rejection in check. This isn't unusual, its just the next logical step to stop rejection.
Keep her in your prayers.
Trish, you are so in my prayers. I think about you and say a liitle prayer everyday. I know that God has a special plan for you. Your kids and family remain in my heart and prayers as well. Soon we will have a new year with new hope! Hang in there girl. You are so strong and have so much love behind you!
