The bubble test is to see if you have a tiny hole in your heart called a "PFO." Approximately 25% of people are born with this hole. If you have it, there's a chance your doctors would want to have it closed before your liver transplant. It is prett…

Echo Tests for Heart and Liver Patients

Hi,


I am on the liver transplant waiting list. I am having heart paplutations I have had a couple of echo tests done with the "Bubble Study". I am currently waiting for my last test result from my doc. Just wondering if anyone else gets this test done often? Do they end up putting a stint in your heart?? Or do they just put up higher up on the Waiting List?? I don't know much about the heart because I am a Liver Patients. Any comments would be helpful. :)


Thank you,


ALici

I know its hard but I believe everything happens for a reason. Im glad I found this site so far I have made great friends and I hope you and I will become great friends also. It is nice to find someone that can relate to me and it does make me feel better also to know that I can talk to you. Because even though I have a great family still kind bugs me when they say I know what your going trough. Because they really dont but you do. I hope you have a great weekend and a great fathers day. Hugs and kisses Karina

Hi Alicia. How are you doing? How long have you been on the waiting list now? Because of the hep c, do you need a whole liver, or partial? Do you have more good days than bad, or visa versa? I know how the fatigue can really get to you. Especially with a little one to take care. Take care of yourself, take naps with your little one. The house can wait. You probably all ready know that. Where is Wrightwood? I'm in San Diego. Keeping you in my prayers, Lili

Alicia, welcome to The transplant Cafe. I can tell you the people here ARE like family. The kindest people you'll ever meet. I too have hep C. I have had two treatments on
interferon and riba- also to no avail. Two bad years on those harsh meds. I had to give up my job as a med asst. after 18 years. Could not handle it. I am geno type 1. Then I found out I had kidney disease, prob. because of my diabetes. So that took priority. My sister donated her favorite kidney to me in 2008. I've truly been blessed. Anytime you want, I'm here, as well as everyone else. Your little boy looks adorable.
I have faith that God will make his mommy better. I would like you to be my friend. Okay with you? Lil
