Second Update on my niece

Friends, one more update on Liz's kidney situation. Turns out the positive update from earlier has turned out to be somewhat less so. The definitive results from the biopsy shows severe rejection indicators, likely from being under immunosuppressed for some time. She is at this moment receiving a treatment to "zero out" her immune system (a type of chemotherapy) which she hopefully will tolerate. If that works well then she and Jane will fly home tomorrow night where she will spend the next seven days in the hospital for the remaining doses of immune system therapy. So, we would appreciate continued prayers for her situation to improve. The prognosis is good if the doctors are correct in their diagnosis and treatment option. Our greatest worry is the amount of damage, if any, caused by this episode. Thanks again for your care and concern

Update on Prayer Request

Update from my brother about my niece, Liz:
Friends, I wanted give an update on Liz since so many have been interceding in her behalf. We are forever indebted. Good news- no signs of rejection! Likely some sort of infection which caused an acute reaction. Clearly, prayers work. She will be in the hospital in Denver until Tuesday while they confirm the type of infection and start treatment.
Praise the Lord for this great news. Will update again if anything changes!
