Miss M. has been approved as a live-donor for Michelle!!! What does this mean? Well, if Michelle doesn't get a whole liver by a specific date, then they will go ahead with the live-donor surgery. This surgery is not booked yet, but they are aiming for the end of august/early september. This is great, because it is an opportunity for the Ways to see a light at the end of this tunnel.
Michelle is having a string of rough days again: nausea, pain, lethargy. Yet through it all she still manages to be the most amazing mother. I am in awe of all she does, and how she carries herself. She may not have a lot of energy, but she uses what she has so efficiently.
In planning our last pub night, I had a conversation with the project manager of the Organ Donation and Transplant Association of Canada. She informed me that a huge number of organ donations are lost because people do not tell their loved ones what their wishes are. Registering as a donor varies depending on where you live.

Good night!
Tracey
