EBV, EBV Go Away, DON'T come back another day!

Sorry, I could not get an update posted earlier, but I have had no computer access. Raquel's Wednesday out-patient procedure became an in-patient treatment for rejection. She has been through more needle pokes in these last four days than I have experienced in my lifetime! They have had the usual hard time drawing blood and getting in an IV, but that has been the worst of our visit. The good news, is that the treatment has gone well and that all of her numbers are looking much better. Her EBV numbers are still high but it has not progressed to a more serious condition, so we are happy about that. Her spirits are rising and she is obviously feeling better. We can tell this because she now feels well enough to clap when we play her Elmo movies. We are hoping to be discharged on Monday if all continues to go well. She has been put back on her Prograf and her anti-viral medication has been changed. This will hopefully be enough to keep the EBV at bay. Gotta get back to the hospital and do my baby's hair.
