3/29/2007 mid-day update

And one step back. The day started out with the word that Annie would get a 4-hour pass to get out of the hospital. It is one of the nicest days we have seen in a long time, and we were looking forward to driving home and stopping by a beach. Then the nurse came in and said the morning blood work results were of a concern, with liver parameters going from 40 to in the 600s, a sign of problems with the liver. So they took Annie to have an ultrasound of the liver to see if there was a blood flow blockage, found none - good news. Now she is scheduled for a liver biopsey this afternoon. Annie recieves a general anesthetic, and then a long needle is used to collect liver tissue for examinaton. It is a short proceedure, with very little pain and a quick recovery. With that information they will go after the problem. Right now it looks like Annie may be experiencing a rejection episode. If so she will likely be treated with heavy doses of steroids.

We appreciate you keeping Annie in your prayers. Thank you

Paul

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, on your own intelligence rely not.
In all your ways be mindful of him, and He will make straight your paths."
-Proverbs 3:5-6
