Negative Bone Marrow Biopsy

I don't know if I am happy or alarmed, but today we learned that the bone marrow biopsy was negative for any infections. This is good news on the infection front. However, it indicates that Cathy's recent deterioration of lung function may be due to active rejection.

Two days in a row now Cathy has worked with the physical therapist. She is still only able tolerate being off of respiratory support for 30 to 45 minutes (and 45 minutes is pushing it). So these workouts are brief. But, God bless her, she is still trying.

Great news on the bone marrow biopsy!
Let us pray the indication of active rejection is also negative.

God Bless you Cathy, for having the strength to exercise when your body is weak and in pain. Keep that strong will and determination of yours and never give up HOPE.

Ditto what Denise said!!!

I'm praying for a miracle and that may be exactly what happened with the negative bone marrow biopsy...we may never know.

CJ, you are the most determined fighter I've ever known. Lean on God for the strength you need to persevere!

Love and Hugs,
