Oh Happy Day! Rejection is better!

So, I had my fun yesterday for my birthday, but it was back to business bright and early this morning for my third biopsy, an echo, blood work, and clinic today. I was nervous, as today's biopsy would be the deciding factor as to whether the re-admission and treatment worked or not. If the rejection was better, I'd get to come home and most likely just tweak a few meds around; but if it was the same or worse, I would be admitted and we would have to see what the next step of intervention would be. 

Even though I was nervous, I was hopeful and went in to it with positive thoughts only. I had to believe that things would be  better, and was ready for some good news! I had the biopsy and met with the doctors and they sent me home, telling me they'd call with the results. We waited all afternoon and finally heard from them - we got that good news! They said the rejection was better! Not perfect, as there is still mild rejection, but they said they were confident that what they did was working, and confident enough to not need to do anything further right now. That meant I got to stay home - I was so happy and relieved! 

I am scheduled to go back to clinic on Tuesday, start cardiac rehab next week, and then have another biopsy next Friday. But until then, I'm so going to enjoy being home and continue to take it easy, get stronger, and make a full recovery! As always, thank you all for sending up your positive thoughts and prayers for a better biopsy - they worked!
