Follow Up Transplant Clinic Appt.

So Big Bird had a pre-transplant clinic appt. on Wed. He left very frustrated. His MELD score is 21. He is no longer #1 on the list, he is actually #3. Apparently 2 other people got sicker than him. Not that I don't understand this, it is just frustrating. I belong to the PSC Support Group on Yahoo-I really don't know what I would do without that fine bunch of people. I posed a question to the group-asking if the transplant centers kept you updated on your listing status. The general consensus was that no they did not.

I know that if he is to get a liver transplant, it will be when the time is right. I truly believe Heavenly Father's plan is much greater. I am comforted that I know this. It is just a frustrating situation to be in.

We are tethered to an imaginary leash-waiting and wondering. But at least we have humor, sarcastic and dry as it may be-but it is there. We have faith, that things will work out the way they are meant to. We have family-whom we yell at, love, cry with and hug. With all this I say Big Bird has it made for whatever the outcome may be!

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.
