My biopsy results are in.....

[Candleliteranch]

First of all I'd like to thank each and every one of you that sent good thoughts and prayers for me to have a good outcome.

The results prove that my kidney IS in rejection. It took them three tries to get a sample

and they weren't sure they got it, but the DR said ENOUGH that he won't go in more than three times. I have received the megadoses of steroid treatments and am now waiting to have additional bloodwork drawn tomorrow to see if it worked in halting the rejection.

Sometimes after a transplant it's like a rollar coaster ride. I'm 4 1/2 years out and am certainly glad that I was able to do it, but the fact that rejection can occur on any given day haunts me. There are many side effects to all the meds we take as well as many risks. One day at a time is my motto and I try not to worry until a crisis becomes a reality. Again, I want to thank you all for being so kind and supportive.

It truly means a l ot to me.

Lisa, I completely agree with and understand your attitude. My late sister always quoted Ian Anderson's lyric, "Skating away on the thin ice of a new day." I live that one.

Stay strong, and when you need us, there are many strong shoulders here for you to lean upon.

Take care,

susanne
