A Transplant Journey

RECYCLED PARTS: one family's journey with heart transplantation

Signed, sealed & delivered

 It took me a while to realize that these were Dr. Cusimano's initials on my brother's chest.  He put them there after telling him that the heart was on the way & signing the paperwork.

At first glance, this appears to be a scribble.  However, upon closer inspection I realized that it was Dr. Cusimano's initials.  I suppose this is done to verify that you've got the correct patient in the correct OR!

Currently, Michael is going for weekly biopsies.  He's had two now & both came back with zero rejection!  Dr. Delgado reminded him that at some point he will have rejection.  This will likely be able to be managed with medications [they are a fine balance!].
