<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe wanted to share a little update on Sabrina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, things continue to look stable, which is exactly what we\u2019re hoping for right now. Her heart function is still around 21%, so that part hasn\u2019t changed\u2014but one really encouraging thing we\u2019re seeing is her BNP continuing to trend down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BNP is a lab that helps measure how much stress the heart is under. Sabrina\u2019s is now the lowest it\u2019s ever been, which tells us that even though her heart isn\u2019t functioning normally, her body is what doctors call \u201cwell compensated.\u201d Basically, her other organs are working really well alongside her heart, and her body is handling things better than it was before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of how stable she\u2019s been, her team feels comfortable spacing her labs from weekly to every other week, which is a big win (less blood draws and less accessing her central line ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She\u2019s also been gaining weight, which is huge for her, and she was SO happy at her appointment\u2014lots of smiles, giggles, and personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heart transplant is still the path forward for Sabrina. We talked with her heart failure team today about timeline, and it\u2019s still considered realistic\u2014maybe a little hopeful\u2014to plan for around two years at 1B. That status is a strange place to be\u2026 it means she\u2019s stable and doing well, but it also means she\u2019s not at the top of the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So for now, we just keep doing what we\u2019ve been doing\u2014keeping her stable, healthy, happy, and growing. And trusting that when the time is right\u2014whether that\u2019s a year from now or a few years from now\u2014we\u2019ll get to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
