Liver Transplant? Yes
Mom went to see the Liver Specialist again today. I tried not to call her over and over while she was there so I kept myself busy at work. Her appt was @ 1:30, she didn’t get home until 5:15. The specialist told her that she definitely needs a liver transplant and that her liver is too damaged for them to start Hep C treatments. If they do, she could die.
She’s telling me all this and I’m searching her face for emotions. She was saying everything so nonchalant and her voice was unusually high pitched. I looked deep into her eyes and I could see the hurt and pain. She truly believed that God would regenerate her Liver so she wouldn’t have to go through with the transplant.
When she told me I just stared at her in disbelief because, I too, hoped and prayed that she wouldn’t have to get major surgery. However, the sad reality is hopefully in the near future, my mom will be getting someone’s liver. The only thing we can do now is wait…

Mom went in for her blood test and ultrasound earlier this week. No results yet. She has her Liver Specialist appointment on Monday and then a another blood test and ultra sound later that week. We don’t know why but, I guess the docs are monitoring somethings that they are not disclosing as of yet.
Anywho, Thanksgiving was yesterday. My brother came from Seattle to see my mom and to paint her spare room (which she sleeps in when my Dad snores). It was good to see him, I haven’t seen him in a while! Since I went up there to visit for a week last year.
Today I’m sick, I feel semi-crappy. It feels like a cold because I keep sneezing and my nose is running. I’m hoping it’s nothing serious.
Well since I’m sick, I called my mom once I got off work and told her that I still didn’t feel well and I was not going to stop by and have dinner. She said “what do you have to eat at home?” I said, “I have spaghetti”
I guess that was not good enough for her. She said, “I will make you a plate here and drive by and pick it up. What do you want?”
When I drove by I had some my fish, rice and beans, a side salad and she added 2 oranges to help with my cold. :) Mommy loves me. She brought it out to me as I sat in the car trying to NOT infect her or anyone.

I haven’t posted in a minute, well… since there hasn’t been anything to write about, I’ve kept quiet. Mom is doing well. She still has the belly yet she’s not in any pain. She’s eating full meals and eating breakfast, lunch, AND dinner. She hasn’t gained any weight which is kinda weird but I don’t want to worry about that. As long as she has an appetite and is eating well, that’s all I care about. She hasn’t been to the doc in about 3 weeks or so. Her next Liver specialist appt is at the ending of Nov. That still seems like a long time to wait. But I figure if they are making her wait so long, than maybe her liver isn’t THAT BAD.
She’s been back to normal personality-wise, she’s back to her talkative self which is great! She complained about having a little pain in her back 2 days ago and yesterday but nothing compared to what she felt before when it was so painful she wanted to cry. She still wants to go bike riding but since time is going to change I think this weekend, by time I get off work, it’s going to be dark. We don’t ride around these parts in the dark… no what I’m saying? Anywho, I’m just glad she’s happier and feeling a lot better. I can’t wait until she has a fully functioning Liver and everything is working the way it should be.

Aquarium of the Pacific
Mom and I actually went to the aquarium today and we had a great time. We were both amazed at the marine life that exist beneath the oceans floor. We walked around in disbelief at some of these creatures from below. Absolutely Beautiful.
