Guest guest Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 to (and !) 11/18/06: From the archives of 2006 From: [ Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2006 7:11 PM To: Subject: got his transplant yesterday! We got the call Friday/Saturday at 1:15a.m. to be at Vanderbilt by 7:00 that they had a liver for him. At the time we were still in the other hospital. So, as I was running around getting ready and calling everyone, had the nurses discharge him and we were on our way. The surgery began at 1:00 pm. I always thought there was a hurry, but apparently not. Anyway, they finished at around 7 pm. The surgeon said everything went fabulous, but he did have a lot of scar tissue from his J pouch surgeries. He is in SICU of course and still on a vent. He will be going back into surgery tomorrow to remove some blood clots from his abdomen. My goodness, I have never seen so many iv lines in all my life! But the nurses are wonderful and I get to go seem him anytime between 10 am and 5 pm and again from 8:30 pm unitl 10pm. I just checked into a motel and am heading back over to the hospital in just a bit. I knew all of you would want to hear the good news. Please pray for us that there will be few complications. I still feel like I am in a dream! wife of UC and PSC 2000 J pouch 2004 Transplant November 18, 2006!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
