INH

The Davis team said that Kim is a go in spite of the infection.  The antibiotic will have fully run its course by then and she will be fine.

At this time the UC Davis team is evaluating if Kim's intolerance of INH is a problem.  INH is a medication used to prevent tuberculosis.  At the age of 18 months and 5 1/2 she underwent two different surgeries to remove tuberculosis from her neck.  The medical team is asking this question: "Could tuberculosis reoccur in her system while she is on immune-suppressing drugs post-transplant?"  Typically, INH is the right course of action to take in situations like this.  However, Kim had a NEGATIVE response to this medication last week.  The Davis team is uncertain if they should proceed in light of Kim's inability to take this medication.  The kidney lasting and providing long life is the team's objective.

Beloved, continue to pray that the LORD authors His great work for His grand design.

For His Name,
