Ground Breaking Day!
Jada is doing so well, that Dr. Booke has now taken her off all meds except 1. WOW! Seriously to have a Liver Transplant Recipient only be on one medication Just 18 months out of transplant is...well...pretty special. Needless to say Dr. Booke was VERY PLEASED with Jada's progress. Thanks to everyone who has had Jada in their prayers. We know that you have played a pivotal role in helping her to get/stay healthy!

sharp work jada - is she on something that she'll be on long term? or are you weaning that too?
Well it would take another minor Miracle Meg. We will be weaning her off of the Prograff over the next three years. The Prograff destroys the Kidneys, and virtually all transplant recipients also need a kidney translpant somewhere down the line. This Medication is the Anti-regection medication. Usually you hope that at the least you can stay on that your entire life, and deal with the Kidney issues as they come. Sometimes though you combine the best doc's in the world, with a ton of prayers, and some guardian Angels Amazing things have been known to happen. Pittsburgh has been leading the field in this area as of late. They actually have a method of taking kidletts off of their anti rejection medications at fairly early ages, and managing their rejection. I would be lying if I was saying we weren't working toward that end. But at the same time I am a little bit superstitious...So Knock on Wood ;)
AAAALLOOOOOOOOHHHHHAAAAAAA!!!
