I wish you luck and good health in your journey. Remember even small set backs don't have to deter you. I contracted COVID again (first time since my transplant). I started symptoms on 1/1/24, but was on vacation in El Salvador (first trip outside the USA). At first I thought the sore throat was caused by smoke from the fireworks that night before (even though I was wearing two masks). I called my team who told me to take extra steroids on 1/2/24, which is the day we were flying back. Tested positive 1/3/24. They put me on a medication for people with transplants that catch COVID (don't remember the name) for 5 days. Then I had a bronchoscopy with biopsy on 1/25/24. I received the results 2/1/24 that I had the beginning of rejection, so they had me come to the hospital for IV steroids and another medicine. I am still in the hospital getting my IV transfusions and am waiting to have another biopsy done to see those results. I have been told that I am a light and that is why I am here is to shed some of my light on others that are in the hospital and that work here. I just trust in God and let him take my worries. Although this is a set back for me, I will get through it and be back to doing what I want to do soon.
Try to remember when you are going through everything that it's going to be better, God loves you, and you are strong enough to get through it.

Thank you for your graciousness in sharing your journey. I too am praying for you with this new challenge. Even though we are on different journeys your spirit resignates with all of us. The word comes to me: “ When you find the courage to look up HE gives you the strength to carry on”. God bless you🙏🏾
