Still looking for a liver!

February 12th, 2011 at 06:44 pm

Thank you all for your support in my quest for a liver for my sister. We're still waiting. She's been sent to ICU and is on life support. It's very strange waiting for someone to die so my sister can live. This is so bizarre. Sign your donor card today. And since some people were asking, we have full medical coverage in Canada so we don't have to pay for anything related to her hospital stay. When a liver is found somewhere in Canada a specialist and their team charter a plane and fly out to look at it. If it's a match it is harvested and flown back to my sister's hospital and then transplated. My sister's liver is "mush" according to here specialist so there is no way for it to recover. That's it for now. Hopefully my next post will be to say she's in recovery! Imagine, 56 years old and in perfect health until last Wednesday. Strange indeed.

    That is one thing about the Canadian health care system, you don't have to deal with individual insurance companies on something this important. I hope it all leads to a positive outcome! I just checked the donor box on my new license... Smile Jerry
