Moving forward on the Transplant path

Next week they will zoom Mike through a battery of consultations and tests:

More blood--how could he have any left

Psychiatrist--no only do you have to be half dead plus healthy enough for transplant, but you have to be sane

Nephrologist--that pesky renal failure rears its head again

MRI of abdomen--still looking for tumors with AFP elevated and creeping up IF IF IF the NEW bloods show his

GFR and Creratinine low enough to use the contrast

Cardiac Catherization--IF IF IF the NEW bloods show he his INR low enough for catherization

TB/Mumps test--Mumps???

So we will be in Miami Tues-Thurs.  I'll take my laptop so I can post. We will be out patient at the on campus hotel and go to the various clinics during the days. And still have some time to rest.

I think he will feel better with the train moving forward rather than just feeling ill every second.

More when we have more.

Rick, you're probably right about David, since he showed me his transplant scar in NYC...on the street, I might add.  No popcorn, though.

I guess because mine isn't from transplant, but from the removal of the right lobe...and worse because of 2 midrift hernia repairs.  And David has hair coverage.

Get these:

ML, so glad to hear that Mike is moving forward and doing better.  I just wish that all the liver patients who continue drinking could see that it's possible to get their lives back if they would only put down the booze and do the right things for their bodies.

Hugs,

Connie
