Laugh!!!!!
Laugh out loud!
So, we had a comment today (Thanks Buck!) I just had to laugh. I totally forgot to mention the pee test.
This was SOOOOOO gross! First you have to pee in a wonderful orange jug for a full 24 hours. They tell you to store your pee in the fridge or on ice. Could someone please tell me who would be sick enough to store your pee in the fridge in which you keep your food & drinks. That is gross.
We made the Big Bird keep his on ice in an ice chest, kept in the bathtub with the curtain drawn. It just grosses you out to think about it being there.
But let me remind you that you have to do the TWICE. One week apart. They want to make sure your kidneys are functioning. Nothing like coke colored pee to warm the gag reflux!
This is why you must always remember to LAUGH!!!!! We have a twisted sense of humor in our house, but you have to when you are going through something like this. You have to remember to laugh, cause sometimes it just gets to be too much. Faith, love & laughter are the things you have to hold onto.

Adventures, thanks for keeping this blog. I hope you don't mind that I've linked to it in my blog. My dad has been going through a lot of what your brother has been dealing with for the past eight months and thankfully, he received a transplant yesterday. It's been really helpful for me to read about your and others' experiences and recognize that we're not alone in this. I started blogging about our adventures with Dad's liver disease a couple of weeks ago, and I'll continue to document his recovery. If you'd like to read it, the blogger address is, lastofframp.blogspot.com.
I'll be pulling for Dustin and your family!

Just found your blog. I am sorry that you are having to go through everything right now. I had a liver transplant brought on by PSC in March of 2006 so I understand the process. Your humor as you go through it is good to see. It seems most people struggling with this are so bitter.(I'm not saying they don't have the right to be either) My thoughts are with you all. Feel free to check out my blog. It may help you get an idea of what may happen during and post-transplant.
