I don't how much pull I have with the Guy Upstairs, but I hope everything will turn out OK...

Will do Kyo.
I did't even think it was possible for organ rejection to occur so many years after a transplant...

Good luck to you and your family, Kyo.

Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.

There are medicines that she was taking to prevent it from happening, so we didn't think it was possible either. Apparently, it doesn't matter...when your body decides something is a foreign object, it wants it *out*.
Thanks for the good wishes, I'll be passing them along for sure.
City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

Best of luck to you and your loved ones, Kyo. I apparently have absolutely no pull with "the big guy" but perhaps others will have more luck. *hugs*
You and your familyare in my thoughts and prayers.

Well, my Dad just called me a little while ago, and he said they doctors have run more tests. They initially thought that the staph infection was in her blood, which would have made it really hard to treat. They know now that it's in her liver, which is comparatively much easier to treat. It's an incredible relief, and I kind of wish the doctors hadn't told my family that it was that bad without making more tests first. Thanks for all the kind thoughts and wishes.

Sending good thoughts your way. Hope that all turns out well.
My grandmother had a kidney transplant probably six or seven years ago, and this past year her body began rejecting her transplant. My aunt intended to donate a kidney to her, but Grandma got sick and was hospitalized for a few weeks while they tried to get an infection under control.
Two weeks after she got back into the hospital, she was rushed to the ICU for another infection, which took them a month to get under control. She was supposed to go into rehab after that to get her strength back, but she fell and hit her head, postponing it a little longer.
My dad just called and told me that she's been rushed back to the hospital today with a UTI and a staph infection in her blood. They'll have to treat them aggressively, and I've been pretty much told that if that doesn't work I'm to be ready to hop on a plane at any moment because it'll be my last chance to see her.
Please keep Grandma in your thoughts and prayers-she needs them right now so badly, and I don't have many places to turn.
