Didn't really want to get my hopes up, but was quietly optimistic that Michael would be home today or tomorrow. Alas, no! Biopsy results show there are still some dead cells (rejection). Less than last week but still evident and they want to be cautious. Therefore, they want to do another scope at the end of the week - so unlikely results will be back before Monday.
There are still plenty of healthy cells and apparently new cells are always being produced. We're just waiting for them all to be lovely and healthy. We're both gutted but realise it's best that they're are being over cautious. Michael spoke with the Professor (of transplant dept) yesterday who couldn't stress enough how over cautious they had to be as the bowel can 'go off' very quickly and therefore it's imperative they constantly monitor the progress (ie. Lots of biopsies).
I did query today whether the bloods ever showed rejection. They don't - it's through the biopsy and the output of the stoma.
Michael is soooo very cheesed off. Not quite sure how I can cheer him up - perhaps a trip out to Waitrose. If only there was an M&S nearby :).
Will tell you all about it later - Michael is beyond excited!!
