for Rita re tx centers

[Guest guest]

Rita, I had the same problem as your son. I was listed at U of Colorado for five years and just getting sicker and sicker. Like your son, though, my MELD wouldn't go above about 15 & 16. Finally, I told my dr. there I had to do something as my husband was just diagnosed w/ Alzheimer's and I had to be over the surgery and well because I didn't know how long it would be before I would need to be full-time caretaker. He said there were other centers I could check out. I chose Indiana University Hosp. in Indianapolis because I was born & raised in IN. I went there for tests the first part of May last year ('06), was listed there Memorial Day weekend, and got my liver on June 27th!! I came home to Montana the middle of Sept. and am doing wonderfully. I would highly recommend IU Med Center - Clarian Hosp. any time, especially Drs. Kwo, my hepatologist, and Dr. Tector, my surgeon there. They were all wonderful. There is a Mc house close by and a

hotel w/ reduced rates for hospital patients' families. I'll be praying for you and your family. Peggy McGovern Billings, MT
