He's listed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Well after a LONG 2 months that have seemed like an ETERNITY, my wonderful

husband,

was officially listed today. The doctor told us this morning that if his

colonoscopy

came back ok that he'd gotten approval from the lead transplant surgeon as well

as

Chris's hep to go ahead and list him. He had the colonoscopy about 1 and we got

the news

he'd been listed at 4:45. We shouted joyfully, thanked God and cried. They tell

patients the

waiting list is typically 3-6 months which from what I understand is pretty

short. One of

his nurses today told me that they get patients from all over the world because

they have

such a short waiting list. (If you're anywhere near the midwest, come to IU!)

Yesterday was a very rough day for him. He was in incredible pain and they would

not give

him anything for it because the docs were afraid the pain meds would interfere

with the

colonoscopy prep. He finally got pain meds at 7 this morning. He has had NO pain

whatsoever today. He's been in really good spirits, got the PICC line he'd been

asking for

all week and the icing on the cake was being listed!

They've cultured and tested everything and cannot find any reason for his fever.

They

switched his antibiotic yesterday and his fever immediately went away and he

hasn't had

one since. I've said all week I thought it was related to his meds. Hopefully if

he doesn't

get one again for the next few days, they'll send him home.

Please keep us in your prayers. Also, keep the donor family in your prayers. I

don't have to

tell any of you what it means to know that someone made the ultimate sacrifice

so that

you can live. What an amazing and humbling gift!

Congrats on the good news. I'll be praying that he gets his much needed new liver, right away and is on the road to great health!
