Got the biopsy results...shows signs of antibody rejection of her new lungs... but no infections.
The rejection sounds worse than it really is because they have treatment that stops that type of rejection and will start her on it today. The rejection was giving pneumonia type symptoms and adding to her breathing difficulties. With treatment she should feel relief in couple of days.
Other than that she was on her regular schedule of physical therapy and occupational therapy today and worked hard. Back up to 50 percent ventilator for a couple of days to compensate for antibody rejection. Plan is to continue with physical and respiratory therapy and weaning off ventilator.
