Same post from last year....6th year Kidney Anniversary today 6/10/17 💜This year we had to face the terrible news that my little kidney is starting to give out Inside Carlos. Despite the rejection news, Carlos is doing well. He endured 3 IVIG treatments in the last 3 months. We are holding on to Hope that the treatment worked. We won't know for sure until July. We leave it all in Gods hands. #kidneytransplant #PKD #donatelife #livingkidneydonor #kidneyrejection #GODisgreat -------------------- Today we are very happy and blessed to celebrate our 5th Kidney Transplant Anniversary #kidneyversary My little right kidney keeps doing great in its new home. Carlos' health is better than ever and my kidney function is also perfect. #kidneytransplant #PKD #polycystickidneydisease #myhusbandmylove #donatelife #livingdonor #blessed

Three Days Left of Steroid Therapy

I was in the hospital for 5 days for steroid therapy. Steroid therapy was basically an infusion of high dose prednisone for 4 days, and a tapered I.V. push of prednisone on the 5th day. 

Nothing really happened during that stay. I just relaxed, got the meds, saw the doctors once a day. I seriously watched a lot of tv. I did some treadmill on the 4th day to pass the time. Elaine and my parents came to visit. 

All my labs came out great. Doctors did not seem worried at all. I did go home with more tapering of prednisone, in pill form. I am currently taking 10mg a day until my follow-up biopsy, which is this Thursday at 9am. 

My dad picked me up on the 5th day at around 1pm.
