Medicare we await thee

On Thursday, February 1, 2007-Medicare will be EFFECTIVE!!!!!!!! You have no idea what a relief this is!

On Thursday, February 1, 2007, Big Bird will be going in for a procedure called an ERCP. They are hoping to dilate his bile ducts to drain some of the excess bile from his system. Please offer prayers and good vibes to us as we deal with this. This isn't the first ERCP by any means, but complications can arise as with any medical procedure and general anesthesia.

On Thursday, February 1, 2007 the Transplant hospital will be able to begin verifying coverage. We should have an appointment within 2 weeks for evaluation.

As of today we are 6 days fever free. Yippee......As of today we are 3 days from health coverage!

***BREAKING NEWS- Big Bird had his Liver Transplant on Wednesday December 12, 2007***

Adventures in Big Bird's Liver World is an account of the daily adventures, trials, frustrations and workings of living with PSC. My brother, aka Big Bird, was diagnosed with PSC in 2000, after battleing UC for many years. He was listed for a transplant in May 2007. We now await the infamous "call". In the mean time, this is where we vent, poise questions and ramble about life, doctor appointments, illness, good days & bad days.
