Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 We need a treatment yesterday and a cure tomorrowToo much pain , too much sorrowTogether in the fight, whatever it takesTime passes and we cannot wait.My prayers will continue for the Henshaws. LeeOne of the transplant surgeons came in to talk to us a couple of days ago. He told us that Dr McKenna was too close to the situation, so he was going to be the one to tell us...... Ken has asked me to 'tell you the truth'. He hopes by the telling of his story, someone, somewhere might benefit from it. The transplant team has made it's decision and Ken will not be getting another transplant - there just aren't any unclogged vessels to connect to. They also will not be doing the hepatic artery bypass. They believe the risk of surgery is too high, however, they think they can improve the blood flow into his liver by trying to open the clot in that artery, so they will use a balloon catheter and insert a stent. Monday they will do another biopsy, and if the rejection is under control, they will scheldue another angiogram. As you can imagine, we hoped for a more complete and long-lasting solution, but this is what we have to accept and deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
