My second attempt to have the tips procedure is scheduled for first thing Monday morning. As you might remember, my first attempt in November had to be stopped because the doctors did not want to give me any more contrast and stress my kidneys. Since then, I have struggled with a kidney stone and uti infections. The stone was lasered in late January and they put me on a home intravenous antiobiotic to rid me of the infection. Finally, success! The infection is gone.
I am a little nervous because I know the doctors feel this procedure will be an important
bridge to transplant. They want to improve blood flow through my portal vein and remove a clot.
Your thoughts and prayers at this time are most appreciated.
Susie
