Here's the Great News!

Michelle was discharged home last night! She only told Jarvie at home, so was going to just show up and surprise her mama, Jack, and Tater Tot! Here is a note from Michelle's mama that sums up the last couple of days really well. Thank you prayer warriors!

From Jer last night:
Today showed a decrease in Michelle's liver counts, which means things are improving. This is the second day in a row this has happened. Also, they saw that her new liver is growing very well!

Rachel Kuhn has done an amazing and exemplary job of serving Michelle, with lots of love and massages and laying on of hands, and helping her in every way possible, putting in long hours at the hospital. We could not have done it this week without her. Thank you Rachel.

This evening, Michelle was told she could be released from the hospital tonight and go home!!!!!!!!!!! Rachel was with her and was so excited she was running back and forth six blocks several times with personal belongings to put in the car! They said they trust her to read the signs in her body, and to return to the hospital if any of the warning signs are observed. They feel she will heal better at home, and be able to eat the foods that will nurture her back to health! And it will be healing to be reunited with her son. So she came home.

Please continue to pray for her body's acceptance of the grafting of her liver and for the liver's continued improvement in function. Also that her digestive and eliminative system be restored to optimum health, with all fluids and gases dissipating as part of the healing process, allowing all her organs to function normally. As her health improves, may there be a gradual and easeful relinquishment of all pain medications.

Thank you for all your prayers and support.

  2. Oh! I don't know what to say, I'm sitting here crying. This is just wonderful. I will be praying for all of those things as I've prayed from the beginning that this liver, given in love, will flourish in Michelle and do everything it is made to do.
    Thank you once again for writing this blog and being so faithful with the information.
    God bless to all of you!

  3. I know it's not over, but I too am crying with relief! It is so exciting that the ladies are home.

    Tracy, I know that you have been fundraising for awhile so that Miss M and Michelle's family don't have to worry about money during this time of convolescence. Please let us know if more help is needed.

    Still praying and visualizing liver growth and pain free times!
