Today, we had an unexpected trip to the ER, but when is a trip to the emergency room expected? Zayne had more severe side effects from the vaccinations than is typical, but her high fever could be a result of an infection that has come about due to all of the treatments to suppress her immune system. Since the source of the fever isn’t know, we were asked to go to the ER ASAP.
Since hospital policy seems to change on a daily basis, Zayne was subjected another COVID test. On April 27, we were told that a COVID test was needed to be admitted to the hospital, but now a COVID test is needed just for showing up in the ER. This test was a little different – a squirt of saline and a tube stuck up her nose (as far as the swab method), but it was much quicker. My ear is still ringing from her screams. Unfortunately, Zayne will need the slower, 10 second swab on June 8 for her heart catherization.
For the good news of this post, Zayne’s PRA (panel-reactive antibody) for donor specific antibodies has gone down! We are stoked to hear that both PRA and BNP are going down.
