After a gut wrenching phone call with the BC Transplant Team, Michelle's live-donor surgery is on hold, and it seems she may have been bumped down the list for a cadaver liver. Of course if there are others worse off, then it is understandable that they are higher on the list. What makes it hard is Michelle has Miss M pleading by her side to get on with the live donor surgery...
Michelle's heart has been breaking and her anxiety levels are high.
So you may have noticed I've been away from the bloggy world. Well we've been working on a few things. Michelle's specialist and her family doctor have both given their full support and encouragement in her being referred to the Toronto Transplant Clinic! She has been working on a letter to attach with her doctor's referral. The letter has been bounced between her 2 editors (her mother and myself : )), and she has come up with a fantastic piece. Her doctor will attach this to her own, as well as labs, images and consults, and hopefully the referral will be sent off in the next couple of weeks! Toronto has an amazing Transplant program, and do far more live liver donor surgeries than BC. They have awesome statistics and are leading the way in organ transplantation!
This is an exciting possibility for Michelle! Please keep Michelle and family, and Miss M and family in your prayers.
