She's back in ICU, apparently having had a hard time breathing last night. She's on some kind of half-way ventilator and they still don't know what's wrong, other than that it's not rejection. I am going to St. Louis today. I can't live with second guessing anymore. If anyone wants to call, Jeff has the … Continue reading …

No rejection, but plenty of infection and we know from our prior experience that infection scars lungs. So I … Continue reading SSDD
