Clinic
Took Aria to clinic today.  Met with the surgeon who did her 2nd transplant and we discussed the mystery that was the bleed from Aria’s bowel.  Since the scope didn’t show anything but nice healthy bowel it is all a bit strange.  Perhaps it could if been from where her bowel and stomach are stitched together, sometimes that happens or maybe her NG tube irritated something last week.  Anyway it has stopped now so that is good.
Her iron/hemoglobin is still low but hasn’t dropped further so that is good.  Hopefully she can avoid a transfusion.  Started a dose of lasix to help her pee more cause she is holding a bit of water.  Her kidneys are doing fine but just need some help.
Anyway this is the first time there has been any concern with her transplanted organs and we are glad it is just a little blimp. Â Although at the time it didn’t feel that way!
She is still battling a cold and had a tough night last night. Â But this evening she is looking better!

Great news! Don’t worry, things will get better and better as you get further out from transplant. So many things for you to think of while she is so heavily immune suppressed but they do lessen this off after 6 months out or so and then things will be a bit less stressful. Take a deep breathe and know you did everything right, you are awesome parents and know just what to do if you are worried.
