Today has been a good day. Did really well at physical therapy. Jane worked hard was able to stand up with walker several times (with help). I did amp her up a by playing some Bruno Mars music which she a the therapists enjoyed :). Going to play music from now on for pt sessions.
Ventilator support is 40 percent (8 cm of pressure) now and Jane is doing good with it. This is pretty much as low as you can go. Any much more and the ventilator becomes more work than breathing on your own. They will go back to no ventilator trials soon.
More about the rejection form yesterday. It sounds scary yes. But I am finding out that the antibody rejection in lungs doesn't show up until about 30 days after transplant. This is why they did not treat for this earlier. It is a wait and see. It is not uncommon and it is stoppable. She was treated with 'IVIG infusion' which has minimal side effects. They will know if it works in a couple of days. I am already seeing an improvement in her tonight...I will take that either way. Once again thank you for all the prayers and support!
