Uh oh!

Well in true Big Bird fashion, we have a complication. He is experiencing internal bleeding. They have given him 5 units of blood since last night, they are still seeing if they can control it, if not, we are looking at another surgery. So much for getting out of ICU today.

I will update when I know more. We are on our way to the hospital now.

I'm so sorry to hear about this! I spoke w/ Betty Latham and asked if they can't do a ward fast for Dusty. She's going to talk to the Bishop and see what they can do. Ward Fasts are pretty powerful. Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys!

Thanks for all the prayers. They are felt. Katie thanks for requesting a Ward Fast. I feel bad asking people to starve for him......

Brenda thank you for your prayers, I keep you and Scott in my prayers as well.

***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.
