We talked to the Transplant team after they reviewed Elizabeth's biopsy today. Her biopsy shows NO rejection. We are thankful for this answered prayer, but cautious as well. The biopsy was several small pieces of lung from her middle right lobe. Lungs are a huge area in comparison to the small amount that was biopsied. There were some cell changes in her lungs that will continue to be monitored closely. She was still treated with the 3 day steroid dose for acute rejection, just be on the safe side and in hopes that the steroids may also help her lungs with the current illness. But we are thankful at this point the team thinks this illness just hit her really hard. We have no idea how long it will take her to recover from it or what her baseline, as far as needing oxygen will be once she is over it. But we will watch her even more cautiously when she is over this for any changes. She has remained stable today and we hope they can make more ventilator changes tomorrow to work towards getting her off of it soon.
