Normal Labs

For the first time in years!!!!! Dustin has normal labs. It is amazing what the last few weeks have brought us.

Dustin goes to two week appointments now. So no more clinic until February 1. He has been to very blessed in this whole situation.

His skin color is normal, his eyes are normal, his labs are normal (too bad he isn't normal-hehe). This has been such a blessing. Tomorrow he will venture in to a public setting for the first time (aside from doctor visits)-he will be going to church-everyone is very excited.

I have PSC too. I'm not nearly sick enough to need a transplant at this point. I'm so glad to hear that "Big Bird" is doing well. Tiffany, are you by any chance on a PSC group on Yahoo?

Great news! Isn't it the coolest thing to look at him and see that the whites of his eyes are actually white??!

I hope the first post-transplant visit to church went well.

I can still remember how excited I was when they told me I didn't have to come back for two weeks, then three, then four....

After a year, Monday will be my first clinic appointment in almost 2 months.

It's always wonderful to hear about folks who are doing 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.
