NOVEMBER 18th Dr Koppee (cath out!) bladder 25ml | Lab 21k PLT Transfusion #36

NOVEMBER 19th
Update/Prayer Request: OHSU went really well, very long day 8-5, my Dr and I have decided since my body is not in the best condition, the dates have been pushed into Dec/Jan for transplant. MRI’s are scheduled (for legs/pelvis) for next week Mon & Wed, my catheter was removed yesterday and my bladder is back to normal size and working on its own, legs are still sore and difficult to walk but I’m walking more with less pain, able to do dishes, laundry, make meals, etc. Continue to pray for complete healing in my body and for all housing, dates, etc to fall into place. And especially that this delay will allow my body to accept the transplant with little or no reactions. God’s still got me❤️love you
