The
titrations of Bridger's
PRAs are back. There is one antibody they would need to avoid in a donor, but otherwise we are okay. The evaluation for transplant is kind of like a scavenger hunt, you have to research and evaluate one thing before you can move on to the next. Next for us is a chest CT scan on Monday to see what Bridger's vessels look like. He will also have more blood drawn on Monday for the heart end of things, these results could take up to a week. We got moved into the progressive care unit last night. Bridger and I each have our own beds and even our own bathroom and shower, there is a big window that looks out on to the city and an actual door to close the noise out. As long as Bridger stays stable for Bridger, we will stay here. Until Monday we just need to sit tight
and do our best to prevent infection or any cardiac/pulmonary crisis.

Oh yay!! That is great news! It is all tricky business. Mia's donor heart is a different blood type than she is. It is so crazy how they are able to do that in babies.
I love the privacy that the "Floor" has to offer. It will be nice to get some rest and try to escape the fact that you are living in a hospital.
He looks so sweet in the biology picture! Isn't it deceiving that they look so great on the outside?
So far so good! Hang in there! Ü
Beautiful news!! Thank you for keeping us in the loop! I love that you have your own room. Keeping the prayers coming.
Yay for your own bed, shower and door!! That is great news. And the window with a view is probably nice too. Tell Bridger to stay "stable for Bridger" so you can stay in that room. Sounds nice....(for a hospital). Has anyone come to visit you yet? I feel bad you are so far away, but it is what's best for Bridger so it's hard to feel too bad.
