The medical staff at the Cardiac Transplant Clinic are still trying to get meds *just right* so early tomorrow morning I have another biopsy to see if the lowered dose of prednisone that I've been on for 6 weeks is still working.I don't want to jump ahead of myself, but if test results show that the 7.5mg dose has been effective, the dose would be decreased again to my former 5mg daily which was what I had been on for a couple of years.
After the biopsy procedure and the 1.5 hours that I have to spend laying flat on my back because they are going through the groin, I'll head up to the Clinic to touch base with the nurse and cardiologist and once that's finished, my husband and I will head home.
Considering that I was diagnosed with the rejection episode at the end of this past summer, I am now aware of just how long it takes for the medications which have to be increased tremendously to counter the rejection, must be then tapered *So Very S-l-o-w-l-y* ...
IF the Lord brings this across your mind between now and then, I would appreciate any prayer offered on my behalf, that He would prepare me to accept whatever news the results bring.
Blessings,

Dear friend, I am praying for you as you go through this procedure. I pray that you will sense the arms of the Father holding you close and giving you peace. I'll be back soon to hear how things go for you tomorrow. ~Adrienne~
Mrs. D,
I will be lifting you up before our Heavenly Father's throne in the next few days!
May you be comforted by this scripture & quote-
"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." -Isaiah 40:31
It is a glorious thing to know that your Father God makes no mistakes in directing or permitting that which crosses the path of your life. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter. It is our glory to trust Him, no matter what. -Joni Eareckson Tada
Love and Prayers,

Dear Dallas,
I'm praying for you as you go through your biopsy. I pray that the biospy will go smoothly, and the test results will show the need to decrease your dose of prednisone. Please take care, and have a safe trip. God bless.
praying for you as you go through this.....I know things like this can be *rough*....
I try to find a scripture that I keep reciting in my mind (MRI's and such).....
Let us know,
Deby
Dear Dallas, I have prayed and will continue to pray for you about this procedure.
I just discovered the playlist at the bottom of your page. I have listened through the first two songs and plan to come back and listen to all of them. How precious and full of reminders of God's presence in our walk through this life.
I'll be in prayer for you. I'm glad it is an "out-patient" procedure, though. To me anyway, that makes it feel less ominous. :)
Dallas,
I am praying God's peace and comfort over you. I pray He will stop any rejection and that your body will receive the lower medication without any hesitation.
That the procedure will cause you no discomfort. I pray the Lord speak to you while this takes place. I pray God's wonderful presence to fill the room and your home when you return to it.
I pray for your husband and family that God's peace be in their hearts.
Blessings to you,
Miriam :)
