Shannon is in the hospital again. I took her down for an MRI on Tuesday as well as her clinic visit for transplant. She'd been having some shortness of breath for a few days and had lost weight. Wednesday morning, she had a bronch in order to biopsy her lungs and see what was going on.
First the good news!!!! The MRI showed a marked improvement. They said the fungus is receding in the orbit as well as the brain, so there is much to be thankful for!
The biopsy of her lungs showed a bad pneumonia as well as a mild rejection! So they started her immediately on three different antibiotics as well as the heavy doses of steroids. They are hoping to send her home Saturday, IF the x-ray shows improvement. She'll continue with the two antifungal drugs and then in addition, have the antibiotics for a couple of weeks.
