My wife Julie received her new liver two weeks ago tonight, it's been rough, she's in the hospital right now with some bleeding, but she didn't have much time left, so we are greatful. I took notes during the transplant surgey when the nurses came out to fill me in and was reading them tonite...."the gallbladder is out...-8:10pm"....it just doesn't seem real. Two weeks and shes walking, talking, eating, and I'm a happy man.Read More

Hi all! My son was 14 months old when he received his gift of life! He had Stage III Hepatoblastoma - rare pediatric liver cancer. After 6 months of chemo a full transplant was his only chance. Was was immediately listed with a peld of 30. After waiting a short 37 days, we got "the call" on Mother's Day 2007. He was tr...ansplanted at Texas Children's hospital and released 8 days after and has done beautifully ever since. His only medication is 1.5ml Prograf twice a day. No hospitalizations since that time and is now 2.5 years cancer free-post transplant, we are SO blessed and thankful to our donor family and not a day goes by I dont' think of our little guardian angel up there! He is now 3.5 years old along with his twin brother and is the happiest kid out on the playground :)Read More

hi evryone,, my name is Jen and I am currently recovering from a liver transplant and complete colorectomy that I had on July 4, 2009. I have been having some problems and have been in and out of the hospital up like 4 times since the surgery however things appear to be on the right track now.
Bradley I wanted to tell ...you any hospital that does transplants should have what is called a living donor program. That is who you would want to contact about being a donor.
I will forever be grateful to the woman and her family for allowing me the gift of her liver, without it I probably would not get to see my little girl grow up.Read More
