8/1/24: Jesse Updates

Quick updates from the past couple of days:

  • Jesse was able to take a real shower yesterday!
  • During a routine check yesterday, the doctor heard a “rubbing” sound. This could possibly be signs of heart rejection, so the doctors did a heart cath today and biopsy to confirm the rejection. The biopsy showed that it was in grade 2 rejection (scale of 0-3), so Jesse will stay an extra night in the hospital and receive two more rounds of steroids. Hopefully the steroids get him back to normal! This is part of the process and is normal.

Thank you for everyone’s continued support and prayers!
