While on a trip home to visit my family some blood work came back that wasn't good. They informed us that my white blood cell count was too low. We called a family friend & physician and he gave us the name of a wonderful doctor, Mrs. Lawson.
I got in touch with her office and she came in off of her vacation to see me. She explained everything to me did a quick exam and looked over charts from Cleveland. After speaking with Cleveland they decided to admit me to the local hospital in Florida where I would start a shot called Neupogeun. The shot would help raise my white blood cell count. Well after two shots it worked incredibly well. I have to say though it hurt like hell. My sides and lower back hurt so bad, but they did work and nothing drastic had to happen. Thanks to my mom and dad for everything during all of this.
My poor mom slept in a chair at the hospital where we got no sleep and dad held me as I cried because I hurt so bad. Thank you pain pills is all I have to say for that day.
biopsy:
Well another trip to Cleveland has come and gone. EKG, X-Ray, and labs. Biopsy was some what easy. They did have some difficulty though. My vein kept collapsing but they were successful and got the pieces they needed. Another easy trip accomplished. Although, when we got home my neck was killing me.
The results were 1R which is good. They decreased my prednisone again. Yay! Increased my prograf by .5 and my pravistatin because my cholesterol is high due to my anti-rejection medications. So Dewon and I are committing to a new diet and exercise plan to try and help as well.
