Update on Marjolein

[charlotte86]

<div><font size="2" face="Arial,Helvetica,Sans Serif">Marjolein is
still feeling very well, but her sats aren't really great, the lung
photo doesn't look as good as it could, her temperature is
relatively high (it's definitely no fever, but one has to
take the paracetamol, which should keep temperature low in
account), and there's still fluid coming out of her last drain...
All those things aren't bad, but they're quite alarming, as all of
them COULD be better. The doctors have been hesitating and
hesitating for a few days now, and today they decided to treat is
as ACUTE REJECTION. She's now on 500 mg of prednisone (normally
it'd be 1000 mg, but she's just a small girl and they're not sure
it's rejection so...) for 3 days. The docs told us it is NOT
unusual, as a lot of people suffer from acute rejection before they
leave the hospital, but I just thought you'd like to know...<br>
I try to keep <a href="http://marjoleins65roses.web-log.nl" target=
"_top">http://marjoleins65roses.web-log.nl</a> as updated as
possible! So check there for the latest news...<br>

Thank you for the update. Sorry to hear about this, but lets just pray that this is just a "bump" and she'll respond to the prednisone and all will be well. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. Please give her our love. <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

I will have her in my thoughts and sent a prayer out for her before writing this.
Please let her know she is being thought of and prayed for by many people.

Take Care,

Thank you for the update. Rejection is a scary word to read. I will be praying that her body adapts and adjusts more easily in the days to come and that the doctors will make wise and effective decisions about her treatment.

She definitely has a certain "healthier" look to her which amazes me so early in recovery!

I hope the prednisone takes care of things & that she's over this 'bump' soon.
Please let her know that we're all pulling for her!
