starting out the week

Kayli got good news this morning. Her liver function tests are looking much better, and definately moving in the right direction. They have upped her dosages of steroids. The biopsy over the weekend confirmed that the slight rejection she was experiencing was simply due to medication levels. Dr Mieles said that he would be more worried if she wasn't showing any rejection, that would mean her immune system was not working at all. This rejection just shows that her immune system is stronger than thought and they will just need to carefully watch her medication levels to ensure they keep her immune system suppressed. They hope to be able to release her from the hospital tomorrow, Tuesday. She is doing very well. This morning she got up, cleaned her hospital room, made her bed, and even had a tiff with a nurse regarding her medication schedule (by the way she was right and the nurse was wrong). She is something else... LOL
She had a wonderful Sunday, with very welcome visitors, and today she was in a much brighter mood. It also may have helped that she actually slept last night. They have prescribed her 5mg of Ambien to take at bedtime while in the hospital as she wasn't sleeping well at all. She realized last night that it's not good to try and fight it once you take it.

Emily adores her big Sissy! :)

Kayli and her amazing friend Ryan, he has definately helped her get through this. He's adorable, he was afraid he would hurt her.
