We are singing the "Hallelujah chorus" today from Handel's Messiah because we just got word that my dad is an official listed candidate on the National Liver Transplant List! Wow, it only took 21 weeks to get through the process...when he was fist diagnosed with liver-failure we missed celebrating Valentines Day and here we are now ready to watch fireworks for the 4th of July!
He is feeling okay and is getting used to taking several pills every day that do all sorts of weird things to his tired body. Now that he is "official" he will have lab work done monthly to update his MELD score and the Liver Transplant Center will keep a better eye on the diseases progress, etc.
Hooray for medicine and technology and for all of the many hours spent so that his "paperwork" could become complete!
