LISTED

Listed!!!

After years of waiting and wishing. It is finally here! Big Bird is LISTED!!!!! He has a current MELD score of 20. He is 6th on the waiting list for his blood type (A+).

It is bitter sweet. You wait and wait for this, then it comes, you take a deep breathe, and then WAIT. So many people die waiting for an organ transplant, but so many people live because they get the gift of life. Bitter Sweet!

So, for my non humorous post today, I encourage everyone to consider being an organ donor. You never know who or how many lives you could save, by simply donating your organs. Talk to your family about-pray about it. For more information on organ donating you can visit http://www.organdonor.gov/.

***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.
