Mid-day Sunday Update

Ashlie is doing well today!  Her liver numbers are all exactly where they were supposed to be, and after some tests, the doctors think that her pain is mostly muscular in nature.  Her fever has stayed down since they stopped one of her anti-rejection medicines.  A GI doctor has started seeing Ashlie to try to resolve some of the issues she is having with eating.  She is going to have some tests run, and they seem to think that most of these issues are due to how sick she was before the transplant.  It is going to take a little while before her entire body starts functioning at 100%.  Hopefully these issues will be resolved fairly quickly (since nothing happens really quickly in a hospital!) and she will be headed home again soon.  Please be praying that the doctors will find some solutions to her GI issues, that they will be able to find the right dosage of her anti-rejection medicines, and that her pain will continue to get better.  Thanks so much for the prayers!
