TIRED!!!!!!!

Big Bird was resting when I left. He requested saltine crackers-it is about the only thing he can keep down right now. Oh the exquisite taste of saltines ;-)

Fever was back this evening, 100.9 when I left. They changed up the antibiotics to every 4 hours instead of heavy dose of levoquin once every 24 hours. He will be in ICU for at least another 24-48 hours. There is a possibility that they will transfer him to SA at the end of the week, so I guess we just wait and see.

His INR is what has everyone jumping through hoops. It ain't a happy thing. All they can do for him is try and control the infection, control the pain and pray for a liver donor. How bitter sweet is that???? Hey can someone please die so my brother can have a life???? Crass I know, but I am tired and I really am just a snot right now.

I will post an update tomorrow, but for now, I am off for some very much needed sleep!!!

***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.
