So if anyone noticed that I said "pencil it in", it's because I have witnessed the indecisiveness of this whole process. I was actually going to put that I was "announcing with cautious hope...", but didn't want to seem like a downer. Yesterday Michelle received a call from the transplant team, her surgery date has been given to someone else that has been deemed worse off. Biggest bummer ever. Or maybe it's a blessing in disguise(a whole liver in the near future?)...I guess they have to buckle up and keep going on this ride. There are dates being discussed for September now, hopefully to be decided this thursday.
Michelle is due for banding of her esophageal varices again. Already? Last time she didn't have any banding for the first time in forever! This time she is pretty sure there are some varices in there, as she has been having difficulty swallowing. And her overall pain is pretty constant. Despite all this, she keeps trekking along. I'm starting to think she has a bit of a bean bank. Seems she can pull a few beans out of no where, but then ends up exhausted and feeling poorly for days after.
I'm so disappointed for the Ways right now. Not even so much that the surgery won't likely happen on the 24th, but mostly that they were given hope and had it swept away only days later. What a roller coaster : (.
