This morning we physical therapy and in the afternoon an IVGI treatment. If you remember this was the treatment she had to take for the antibody rejection she had a month ago. Jane will have to take this treatment once a month for the next 6 months. It's pretty simple she just needs to have it administered through an IV. Doesn't have any side effect just takes a couple hours.
Today the transplant team feels the biggest problem is the fluid retention. Her legs and lower body are still swollen which makes it hard for her to walk and that same fluid is in her lungs making it harder for her to breathe and still needing a little oxygen. They don't have a quick solution her body will have to get rid of it over time. Getting back to normal eating and movement will be what helps that happen.
Thursday the plan is to do a bronchoscopy and biopsy of her lungs again to make sure she has no new rejection going on making it hard for her to breathe. So for that she will go back to northwestern as an outpatient.
