    Emily had a biopsy on Monday for her 9 month post-transplant visit. The biopsy showed some mild rejection. We are hopeful that adjusting her meds will clear it up. The frequent biopsies are done in order to catch rejection like this in its early stages, but we felt pretty discouraged to have this happen. She is absolutely consistent about taking her meds. We assume that adjusting some of her doses down in the last few months to allow her white count to recover a little contributed to this bit of rejection. She still feels well, and is hoping the higher doses won't bring back the nausea.

      Sorry to hear she did not get that coveted 0 .. Hoping that it will all settle down and she will once again have a 0 .. How maddening it has to be to follow the rules so well and still get signs of rejection.. thinking of you all... hugs.

        I know it is a scary thing not to get that 0 but as long as they are not going to blast her with IV Celestone it has to be mild. I think everyone at some point gets a 1 or so. Hopefully by now her tummy can take the increase in meds.
