Updates

On Monday, Feb. 11th, Dan had new labs and imaging and we met with the doctor.

For the past 6 months, Mayo has done very few, if any, liver transplants because of a shortage of livers available. New patients have been added to the list with fewer organs available. So, although Dan’s MELD number went up, he’s lower on the waiting list. This probably means our wait will easily be a number of months longer, and will continue testing our patience and prayers.

In the meantime, we will be working more aggressively through additional medications to treat the side effects mentioned in the previous blog entry. As the doctor told us, the hope is to get Dan as healthy as possible while he’s sick.

We continue to be thankful to Mililani Baptist Church and Hawaii Pacific Baptist Convention for your love and support, and for you who read these blog entries and have lifted us in prayer.

Still soaring (most of the time),
Dan and Deb
