Today we went to OHSU for an appointment with Dr. Barry. He is a surgeon in the Department of Urology. He will eventually be removing both of Brian's transplanted kidneys. They feel that removing them will make it easier to effectively treat the histoplasmosis and will also allow his immune system to become less sensitized (no more foreign bodies to fight off). This will give him a better chance to be approved for a new transplant. Because of the doctor's schedule, we won't be embarking on this adventure until July.
Coincidentally, Dr. Barry knows many of the doctors who cared for Brian at Cedars-Sinai during the previous transplants...small world!!
