Biopsy Showed Grade 2 lung Rejection

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I just got the news from my bronchoscope done yesterday that I have

Lung Rejection Grade 2 which is worse than the minimal rejection that

they treated me for last Nov. They are admitting me to the Methodist

Hospital in Indianapolis on Tues. Sept. 2 for 7 day treatment of the

anti rejection IV Thymoglobulin which is what they gave me last Nov.

I thank you all for your prayers for my bronchoscope and hope you will

continue to keep me in your prayers for successful treatment of this

rejection. At least this explains why I simply have not been feeling

that great the last few weeks or maybe it has been the last 2 months.

I don't recall when I started feeling so short of breath when I am on

my feet or very active; and had hoped it was just the hot summer

weather. I asked if there was anything I should or should not be doing

this weekend and was simply told to just take it easy so that is what I

will be doing.

Love and Aloha,

Judy W IPF 10/06 TX 8/22/07 Lung collapse 11/07 & Rejection Treatment

Judy, I am so sorry you have to go through this again. Of course we will be praying for you.Do they have any idea how long you'll be there? Have your son bring you a hot dog, tater salad. And relax. Kick your feet up and be pampered a few days.  Love and Prayers, Peggy   IPF  2004,  Florida"Worry looks around, Sorry looks back,  Faith looks up."

Peggy,

I'll be admitted around noon on Tues. and they said the treatment

would be 7 days, but I know from the treatment last Nov. that it

could end up being a few more days depending on how low it makes my

white blood count go. Last time it got so low they had to cut the

dosage in half for 2 days then kept me 3 extra days. Also it lowered

my magnesium so low they had to add a 2 hr IV for that also. I had

bought some Nora books to read a year ago, but had problems

with my vision for so long that I haven't read them. My eyes finally

got better and after 6 attempts to get new glasses I finally got a

good pair from Lens Crafter. I had 3 exams from my opthamalogist who

is supposed to be one of the best eye docs in Cincinnati and was

having Sears make the glasses. Finally the 4th pair I had Sears

Optomotrist do an eye exam. Still I could not read well with them.

The opthamalogist tried to blame my health and diabetics but I could

still read well in my old glasses from 6 years ago, but they were no

good on distance vision. Then I went to COSTCO and ordered glasses

and when I went to pick them up they were the worst I had ever seen.

I could not even read the largest print. Finally I pulled them up

1/2 inch or more above my eyebrows and realized they had the lenses

placed incorrectly. I then checked the latest pair from Sears and

pushed them up 1/4 of an inch and discovered then I could read with

them. So I got those refunded and finally went to LensCrafters.

They got both the reading and the long distance correct finally.

Two weeks ago in one week period I was almost in a car accident 3

different times. I don't remember the first one but recall a car

almost ran into me. The 2nd event was on Wed. that week as I was

driving on I71 south to take 275 East. A huge truck was in the right

lane just ahead of me and he suddently realized he was in the lane to

go west on 275 and jerked over into the lane right in front of me and

fortunately I was paying attention and able to get my car over into

the left passing lane or I would not be here now. The next evening

Jeff and I had gone to Olive Garden for dinner and as he was pulling

my car out of the drive tothe main road (after looking and seeing no

traffic coming our way) and suddenly a car in the far lane going the

opposite direction did a quick U turn and missed us by inches. It

made me not want to drive again, but I still do provided I am feeling

up to it. This weekend I intend to just stay home and take it easy.

I hope to put some photos into picture frames and hope that Jeff will

help me get them hung up.

I still need my computer worked on, but have put it off again since I

will be in the hospital for at least 7 days beginning next tues.

Love and Aloha

lung collapse and then 10 days of rejection treament Nov 07

and now next week rejerction treatment. I jokingly had

told Jeff I would watch QVC if I had to go to the hospital again, but

actually I hope I feel well enough to read some books that I bought a

year ago but they have just gathered dust.

Judy,

I am so sorry that you are having rejection of your still new lung. I pray that the medication will work again. You were right to be so alert. Hope your hospital stay will be a short one.
