Just wanted to say that this will be a Thanksgiving to celebrate and remember. Pray all is going well with you and Lina. I send blessings, peace and comfort to you and yours this Holiday season. Keep me posted how you both are doing.
Hugs, Karen
Marshall, I'm SO happy to hear Lina received her new liver! Life is truly a gift. I had a liver 3 years ago, so feel free to ask me anything if your ever in need :) Please keep us updated on her progress. Wishing you both strength and a speedy recovery! Take care...
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

Glad to here your journey is going smoothly. <3
Your in my prayers.
I'm a newbie here but wanted to let you all know that my wife finally got her phone call last night ... a cadaver liver was finally ready!
After a rush to the hospital and a long night of waiting, we got the word that the liver was suitable for transplant and that the operation would be a go at 10:30am this morning.
We'll know more in 6-7 hours. We're asking for prayers for the family of the donor who are grieving now but must be happy that the decision to sign his/her donor card was a lasting gift for several other people they would never know but who would all be eternally grateful.
My wife's condition is unique in that she is also a donor ... her liver is fully functioning and suitable for transplant, its just not good in her body anymore - its a long story, maybe we'll tell you about that part when things calm down - so Lina is BOTH a recipient AND donor. So there is another family waiting outside an adjacent operating room as my wife's liver is transplanted into another person. Please pray for them as well.
Many thanks - Marshall Spencer

I know this drill. When I was diagnosed with Hep C, 8 years ago, my doctor wanted me to do the interferon/ribavirin therapy. BC/BX said it was "experimental." My hepatologist went to bat for me and they paid. Then, I needed xifaxin to help rid my bl…
Getting it done isn't the difficult part, that just making phone calls, sending e-mails, etc... The hard part is trying to put people together that are interested in the concept.
I know this thread is a bit old, but its still high on my list of thi…
