A Transplant Journey

RECYCLED PARTS: one family's journey with heart transplantation

It's Been A While

Here's an update as we approach the one year anniversary of Michael's heart transplant:  Michael continues to battle CMV.  He is at home on oral medication to fight the virus.  He continues to go to Toronto General Hospital to inhale a medication that attempts to prevent pneumonia.  This week, he also had a biopsy which came back showing zero rejection.  This is incredible considering the low, low doses of anti-rejection drugs he's been on [my dad complains that he takes more meds than my brother!].

The other patients [my parents] are recovering from their car accident in August.  As it turns out, my Mom has a fractured foot, fractured sternum, fractured back and several fractured ribs.  That explains the constant pain she's been in!
