So my last post was all happy. I wish I could say this one is too, but it is not! Abby won't be home for Christmas. She was doing really well in rehab and hit all of her goals so that is good. But she got a UTI and she isn't making enough urine again. Her drug levels in her blood were a little high. It is the drug that is the anti-rejection med which is hard on the kidney. So it worries them. So they discharged her from rehab and moved her back to the transplant floor. The reason for moving her back was to do a CT scan to make sure her kidney didn't have a blockage, and to give her IV antibiotics for the UTI but at first they were still optimistic that she could be discharged on Friday. Well tonight she spiked a fever after getting the antibiotics so the doctors are pretty concerned. So she won't be coming home on Friday. We are all very sad because Abby is sad. It will not feel like Christmas but we will make it work I guess.
We hope all will turn out ok but we are all discouraged right now. We really thought she would be home for Christmas. Abby is pretty sad right now so she could probably use some cheering up. We are all very grateful that she is alive and that she has some strength back. We just hope she will be home very soon. Please keep Abby and our family in your prayers they are very much needed tonight!
