Abigail breaks out!

If all goes according to plan the UCSF Doctor team is letting Abigail return home with her family on November 3rd, 2010.  The family now has a new used vehicle for her monthly doctor visits to San Francisco Children's Hospital (Parnassus Street- Sunset District). I will post more news when they arrive as it comes.  Bless them all! 
    
Here is an excerpt from her Caringbridge page on her great progress:


Abbi's Mom says:
so things keep moving in the right direction. abbi is off hydration as of today. off of her blood pressure med. she is 100 percent donor. the docs are gonna talk about tapering her down from prograf in the next 2 weeks. and having her totally off in 6 weeks to waken up her new immune system. they have to be careful not to give her too bad gvhd. but they will hopefully taper her quicker than last time. she looks good and the doc said her stubborness is paying off. he couldnt believe she bounced back so quick from the peri engraftment syndrome that had her in icu and on oxegyn. but we all know abbi is very strong willed. i haven't been updating as much, probably now once every couple days or week depending on things. we just can't wait to go home. we are getting new carpet in our house. and we got our new car. so we are happy. ESPECIALLY HAPPY THAT ABBI IS DOING WELL!
