Liver Transplant Listing

MUSC Liver Transplant Coordinator called me on Friday Morning and stated that I had been placed on the list and that due to my blood type O+ and my MELD score of 19 that placed me at the top of the list. They have put me at # 1 or # 2 on the list, the transplant team feels it will be soon when they call me.

I would like to first of all Thank God for all that he has done in my life and my family’s life and all that he is going to do. Second I want to thank my family and friends for being there for me and helping me through this whole process. Third I would like to thank each and every one that has lifted up a prayer for me and my family and please keep those prayers flowing. Fourth I would like to thank each and every person that has contributed to my assistance in any way, from financially to planning and processing benefits, blood drives web-sites and all the other ways people have helped us. I did not ever think I could be a lost for words but all of you have done it to me, just saying Thank You would never come close to show you how my family & I really feel.

When they do call us to come to Charleston my family may not be able to post updates due to the lack of internet access, so please check back here often and they will be placing an audio on the blog instead of verbiage, when internet service is not available.

We hope this will keep you informed, as my family may forget to call someone.

God Bless You All & Be Careful
