When's the surgery? Michelle must get asked this a lot, I know I do on her behalf! Michelle is waiting for a whole cadaver liver, but could also end up with a live donor, partial liver. The partial liver transplant will only occur if the wait for a cadaver is too long and they don't think Michelle can hold out for it. Michelle has an amazing friend who offered her a segment of her liver almost immediately upon learning Michelle's need. The assessment process is quite involved, and the surgery itself requires a huge commitment and careful consideration from both the donor and the recipient, as well as the families on both sides. Miss M just recently completed her final 2 days of testing and they are now waiting for the results to see whether she can indeed be a donor if needed. If they end up booking the surgery it will not be until the mid to late summer months. In the meantime, prayers are for a cadaver liver as this is the best, most ease-full process for all involved. Miss M, you have a huge heart and Michelle is blessed beyond words to have such a dear friend.
