Good Morning. Not much news this early in the day. He has been down to x-ray already this morning,ate breakfast and now he is filling out his menu for tomorrow. See...not much exciting going on here!
My main reason for posting this morning is because there is a young girl I have been following on caringbridge. She had her double lung transplant a year ago and she just found out she is in rejection. The Dr's are not sure if they can turn it around for her. Please visit her web page and especially keep her and her family in your prayers. They are having a rough time of it being faced with what's to come. Her page is http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jordanulrich

Hope everyone has a blessed day! The sun is shining bright up here!!

Dr. Alex was just in. Nothing really new. Pretty much just waiting for those tubes to come out.

Good evening! First thing this morning we went to Chicago to meet with the Dr who will be over seeing Brent’s photopheresis treatments. We had all of our questions answered and are hopeful that the treatments will work.  His first treatment will be Thursday morning of this week and we will have to go again on Friday. The treatments have to be done in Chicago and-we were glad to hear-the treatment will only be 2 hrs long!! The one side effects he has is that he can’t be exposed to the sun the first 24 hrs after treatment. This is because they use UV light in the treatment and it takes 24 hrs for his body to absorb any excess of the UV sensitive drug that may be in his body.    Other than that he should feel the same as usual!  He was also scheduled to get a port (under the skin) placed today. After checking his arms they concluded that they didn’t need the port because he has great veins!  We appreciate all the love, support & prayers everyone ha...
