Looking Towards Home

Amelia's first post transplant biopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.  Biopsies will be a regular part of Amelia's life as we watch for rejection.  If all goes well, we have a tentative go home date of Thursday.  Friday, the last of her IV meds was discontinued as well.  Now, she only has two pumps running to keep the RA line open (there are two openings at the end of the line).

For the last 5 or 6 days, Amelia has been showing signs of medicine withdrawal.  She has not been sleeping well and had a few times of very fussy spells.  We have been treating them and we hope she will be over the withdrawal before we go home.

Kim and I are super excited about the probability of going home soon.  We are in our 7th week of living at the hospital.  It has been a very long stay, but we are excited Amelia is doing so well.

Here are a few pictures:  The pictures with Kim and I holding Amelia are from March 15th, the Thursday of Amelia's transplant.  They are from late morning.  The last one is from Wednesday the 21st, less than 7 days after transplant.
