Hi there Marshall:
I wanted to personally thank you for joining my Transplant Creativity group. I extend a warm welcome and hope you will enjoy it there.

It could be a song, music, poem, story, movie, photo, picture, an object, etc. anything that gives you a feeling of life and living and brings joy to your world. Thanks again and keep in touch.
Hugs, Karen

That's great news! No surprise regarding the appetite. It will get better. Any word on the recipient of her liver?

Well its day 4 and things continue to progress ... moved out of step down and into a regular room and off most of her lines etc. Not much appetite but has to eat to take her pills now that the pain pump is disconnected. Thank you to all for your encouragement and kind words ... Lina will love this when she gets home!

Hi Marshall:
Thank you for the wonderful update and please give Lina my love. I'm so thrilled and my prayers answered that everything went well and without a hitch. She already sounds ready to get up and go...lol. Thank you again for sharing this joyous news with us. I'll look for the next update.
Hugs, Karen

Week 5 starting ... where does the time go? Getting used to not being able to schedule anything & taking nothing for granted. Biopsy last week done after concerns that meds weren't doing enough to stop rejection. Upped the prednisone over the weeken…

Marshall Spencer commented on Gabrielle's group 'Liver Transplants'
1st biopsy yesterday ... increased the meds due to "signs of rejection" too bad they didn't explain the procedure a little better - we were told "oh it'll only take 20 minutes" which was true except for the 3 hr wait since they were backed up, the 2…

Liver Transplant Updates - Lina Spencer

Well we're into the start of day 2 of my wife's post trasnplant life.

We got the call friday afternoon - Friday the 13th has never been luckier!.

Surgery began Nov 14 at approx noon and Lina (my wife) was back up in the ICU by 6pm or so. They tell me there was no bleeding and the surgery went off without having to use any blood. As you may have heard, Lina's need for a transplant comes from familial amyloidosis. Her liver was to be transplanted into another waiting patient and as I left the ho… Continue
