So Michelle went to the hospital today only to find they were overbooked, so her banding has been rescheduled for next friday. Such a bummer. She feels like garbage if she doesn't eat, and here she had fasted until this afternoon for not! But apparently the Ways still felt they should get some hospital time in, so off they went to the clinic for Jarvie. Actually, Jarvie had hurt his foot quite badly the other night in his rush to watch the Canucks, and now with Michelle's surgery canceled the Ways had some extra time to get him looked at. The clinic doc thought it was broken, thus directed them to the local ER. X-rays were done, and then they were sent home until the radiologist could read them next week. You know the medical system is in crisis when...
Michelle was feeling strong enough today, so she has ventured off to the island for 2 days to see her dear friend Miss M. In the event that they end up going the live-donor route, these two have some important stuff to go over, as this surgery is a big deal. The fresh air out there is also a bonus! Safe travels chickadee : )

“We have been friends together in sunshine and in shade.”
This is a blog for my amazing friend Michelle Way who is fighting the battle of a lifetime. Michelle has Wilson's disease, a debilitating genetic disease that affects the body's ability to process copper. Overtime internal organs can become damaged, and in Michelle's case her liver is failing. Michelle was officially placed on the transplant list in November 2008; and after a long wait finally received a live-donor transplant on February 16th, 2010!
