Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Awesome, all the best.HardyTo: Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2009 5:22:26 PMSubject: He's in surgery now! Just for a frame of reference let me tell you what our 24 hours has been like.....the attending physician told us at 4:45 pm yesterday that he was listed. At 5:45 am this morning I was jolted out of bed by a phone call from Chris's nurse telling me they had a liver for him and that I needed to be here by 9. Skylar (our 9 year old) and I got ready and headed down here. Other family members started showing up and they told us the surgeons had already done 2 liver transplants this morning and needed to rest and it'd be closer to 1. One of the surgeons examined him and said they were harvesting the donor liver around 1, and it'd be here about 4. At that point they would examine the liver to make sure it's healthy and the right size. At 4 his nurse told us the liver was good. We shouted hooray and cried. At 4:30 they came to get him to take him to OR. Our family came to the waiting room and I went back with him until the OR nurse came to get him. It's now a little after 6 and we haven't heard any updates yet. Their average surgery time is 3 hours. They did one this morning in 2 1/2! I'm telling you guys, this place is awesome! They have people come here from all over the world. I cannot say enough about the doctors, surgeons nurses and everyone else here! I am ready to put the words PSC OUT of my vocabulary!And for those who have not been where we are yet, there is hope. And although it seems scary, by the time you get sick enough to need a transplant, you and your loved ones will welcome it. Hang in there-it's a bumpy ride but one that you can and will get through.------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
