Dear Lupies . . . . my 39 year old daughter who is a

kidney/pancreas

transplant

recipient (her first kidney lasted three years and the second

one is now

in rejection after a year and a half) found out today that in

addition to

having infusions of an anti-rejection drug for the kidney,

an MRI

yesterday showed a blood clot in her brain. I live near Houston

and she

moved to Seattle

in March so she's far away. She does have a

wonderful

boyfriend who is sticking with her through thick and thin

which is a

comfort to me. She's having a second MRI tonight using a

different

dye. Don't know when the results will be forthcoming, maybe

later

tonight or in the morning, and also don't know what happens next.

We are

assuming surgery will be necessary. She has really good doctors

who are

interested, caring, and keep her well informed. Thank God!

She's been

through the mill with health problems (diabetes since age 11)

including

over four years of blindness. But her sight was restored

after some

good eye surgery and now she even drives again! The kidney

rejection

just seems to follow her around and now this brain blood clot

which is a

brand new type of problem.
