A Small set back

The two main complications of transplant surgery are organ rejection and infection. So what that means is on a scale from 0 to 4, I’m at a 2 for rejection. Since my body recognizes the new lung as a foreign object, it will normally try to get rid of it or "reject" it. Anti-rejection drugs taken after surgery help prevent a rejection episode, but they also inhibit part of the immune system. Since the body's ability to fight infection is decreased, transplant recipients are more prone to infections. Starting Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday I will be on Solumedrol 1000mg a Steroid IV Drip at home, this should help with the rejection. I will keep you all posted as to how I’m doing and if not me my sister Virginia.
