Oct 27th Kenzie had her monthly check up it was suppose to be an in and out clinic visit Makenzie looked healthy and seemed fined but when she got her echo done and Dr. Everitt came in and listened to her they decided she was in rejection from the looks of her echo and the gallop in her heart. So they decided she needed to be admitted to the hospital of course not expecting it I cried. They got her admitted and had her get a cath done but before her cath she was able to get a blessing, which Tyler wasnt able to get off work so a couple of elders from our ward came and gave her the blessing.
After the cath was all done Dr. Day came and talked to me and told me her pressure's were higher then they were suppose to be which is a result in rejection, so we needed to wait for the biopsy to see how bad it was and what type of rejection it was.
Later that night we got the results back and we found out that it was antibody rejection, which means she will need to do plasma foresees. So she was admitted to the CICU while doing her treatments she needed 5 of them every other day. It is a machine that filter's her plasma and puts back the good plasma.

We eventually were able to go to CSU which is the floor, so it was a little more relaxed and Kenzie was able to go to the play room but of course she had to wear a mask. She was able to finish her plasma foresees on the floor so that was nice for her.
Patrolling the halls 
Being the Dr. instead of the patient
We had to spend Halloween there which wasn't to bad grandma Lehwalder came and gave Kenzie some Halloween decorations to put up in her room. Later that day they had a Halloween party and trick or treating around the hospital. Kenzie and Braxton dressed up, Kenzie was the cutest witch there and braxton was spider man who kept webbing every nurse in sight
(yes he likes to flirt). They both ended up with a bag full of candy and goodies, it turned out to be a nice Halloween all things consider.

Her last treatment was on Nov 5th and the she got 2 other treatments IVIG, and Rituximab they wanted to see how it went and how she reacted to the other 2 treatment before getting released. She did pretty well she threw up once, but no reaction which is good.
Sunday came and we finally got discharge she went home on 9 different medications, but she was glad to get the IV out of her neck and the pic line out of her arm. She will have to continue the IV treatments The Rituximab is a 4 time treatment which we will do at PCMC when she goes in for her clinic, and the Rituximab is a 6 time treatment once a month at home.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers through out the week.
