We made it San Antonio

We made it to San Antonio........

We met with the Transplant Surgeon yesterday. They are going to evaluate Big Bird for Transplant. His nurse coordinater will be calling us within the next couple weeks to schedule the evaluation. This will take 3-4 days. Out-patient basis. He has a perliminary MELD score of 21 (based on blood work from December), but after being in the hospital and pumped full of IV antibiotics, his MELD dropped to an 18 based on the blood work done Friday morning-but they do acknowledge that the score lowered because of the antibiotics-fun stuff.....After all the evals and all is done, we are looking at possible listing for transplant in April or May....

The surgeon was very optimistic-which was assuring for both Big Bird and my mother. But there is a chance he could get really sick while waiting. Ah fun....But we will keep our fingers crossed, and keep the prayers going.

Just wanted to post an update that the appointment went well and we are on our way to what we have waited years for!!!!!!!
