Transplant Update Week 5 - Rejection Episode

Posted By Lincoln

 
I’m not nearly as good a this posting as my wife is.  I’m out here with Ben while my wife gets a small visit home to see the kids.  

Just a Ben update:  He has digressed a bit and has gone from a normal room on the transplant floor to the SICU (Surgical Intensive Care Unit).  The doctors believe he is going through an atypical rejection episode.  On top of that he had a very bad allergic reaction to one of the meds they gave him to treat the rejection. It’s been a rough couple of days.  The doctors are optimistic as are we.  They told us that some transplant patients, especially modified multi visceral transplants will go through a rejection episode.  He is still smiling even though he is in pain.  We are hoping and praying that he will pull out of this quickly.
