Wednesday Update

Big Bird has been running a fever off and on all day. It was back up to 100.5 around 4 this afternoon.

They took the stent out, the doctor seems confident that this was the issue and things should just get better from here on out. They still have him on IV antibiotics, and well keep him in ICU at least through tomorrow. There is a possibility he might get to go home Friday-fingers crossed.

When things got scary, they listed his MELD score at 40-this is the highest it can go. This is his MELD score listing as of right now. His INR was down significantly to 1.47 today as well-yippie...

Really right now he needs a transplant, I don't know how much more he or any of us can take of this. He seems to be down right now. I left the hospital early tonight, he didn't get much sleep last night, so hopefully that won't be the case tonight.

Don't really have allot today......good I suppose.

***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.
