We are few days late for the one month heartiversary, but close enough. Zayne is doing amazing and slowly putting on weight. She wanted to bake a cake to commemorate this occasion – she made the cake all by herself (following the directions on the box).
Cath results are good – her pressures are great. When I saw the pathology results come back as a 1R (mild acute cellular rejection), my heart sank. But it isn’t a concern since jumping between 0R and 1R is common (you can’t get rid of rejection 100%). We are still waiting for her AlloSure results. This special blood test will quantify the amount of donor heart DNA floating around in her blood stream. Donor DNA in blood is bad. We don’t expect to have high amounts, but it will be good to get a baseline. In the future, we may be able to use AlloSure to check on possible rejection instead of having a cath with a biopsy.

First short hike
I am
amazed by Zayne, and so happy to hear she’s doing so well.
AMAZING! So much progress in one short month. Zayne looks great (and the bear pics were cool too!!).
I thought it was majestic watching two horses galloping in the field – Zayne told me that something had scared them. She was right.
