One week

We have been okayed to go ahead with Ben's biopsy next week even though he had antibiotics in the hospital while he was inpatient over the weekend. As long as he does not get any fevers, or come down with another illness. So, we have one week left until biopsy time. One more week. It is scheduled for next Thursday, Oct 24. We are still on the schedule to be at Ronald McDonald House next Wednesday evening for a (hopefully) early morning biopsy on Thursday. I am crossing everything that I have that he will make it to this biopsy without getting sick again. We have already cancelled 2 biopsies. He is now about 2 months behind schedule for his biopsy. I guess the good news with him being admitted at Lurie this weekend is, since he was there, his cardiologist was able to do an echo and EKG and labs, and they got a good look at his heart and cardiac wise, he looks great. His BNP looked the best they had ever seen it. So, he is now looking really good, except for a minor cough. We are hopeful that now his biopsy can actually happen this time. It is important for him to be able to get these done so they can check for rejection and check his coronaries. The EKG and echo are good, but not as good as looking with the biopsy. It makes us feel better every 6 months to hear that everything is ok, and there are no signs of rejection. Especially with how sick he just was. I really would like to get this over with and know that there are no signs of rejection at all. Cross your fingers, everyone!
