Progress of transplant eval

Wel l now that everyone is recovering from the past week of test, poking and proding, its time to get back to work.  The eval went pretty good, never really heard any bad news from them, everything looks promising.  Have to get a couple things done at home and then hopefully listed.  Friday was a very long day.  He (John) had to get a plasma infusion before he could get his endoscope done.  When they did the scope, they ended up banding 3 varcies(none were bleeding).  We ask why our other doctor had not done them but there are no answers for that.   John had 3 very good days, although the first day he was very unsteady, (always slow and easy) but little sleep, guest houses are not the best place to relax.  The main thing is everything looks good so far and over 1 year clean of alcohol helps too.  After the long week, he got to celebrate his 40th birthday, the kids liked it more than he did but he made it to 40,  hopefully more to come! 

Happy Birthday to John! Wishing him many, many more.

Welcome to the waiting club!

It can be months and months of sleeping with the cell phone ON and a suit case packed for both of you!

But when the call comes, you have to be on the way quickly!

I was out of the area when Mike got his call and his daughter brought him to admitting! it took me 14 hours to get to the hospital, but I got there before the surgery was over!

There is good information on the Internet on waiting list statistics if you need help with figuring that out, my email address is in my profile.

Best to you both, especially JOHN.
