It's All in the Name

I heard back from Ron.  The doctors have confirmed that Sara has graft-host rejection.  It's not as easy to fix as "normal" rejection (where the body rejects the new organs).  Graft-host is when the new organs join a coalition and gang up against the host body.  If you've been able to surmise, it's harder to diagnose, too.

So, the game plan is to immediately give her two units of blood.  Something about doing that helps the body get back in control.  Then they'll "tweak" her meds - doesn't that sound fun?

I'm thankful for the diagnosis.  At least now they know what they're dealing with.  Hopefully they have learned (via the hard way, thanks for hanging in there Sara) some new symptoms of GH.

That would obviously play into why Sara has been nauseous and unable to hold things down - the stomach was rebelling.  Silly stomach, didn't she know she needs the rest of Sara?   She had a fever spike yesterday, but hopefully things will get under control now that we know what we're dealing with.

ttfn,
Us
