Not Our Best Day
We thought we had a meeting
with Fred’s new hepatologist this morning.
Instead of her coming in the exam room, we were greeted by the new Director of KUMed's Liver Transplant program and one of the surgeons.
The short story is they had a change in their program with different outcomes and it seems
they are going for a more conservative approach. They let us know Fred’s case is now deemed too risky for them and he is
no longer a candidate here.
On top of this, Fred broke a tooth and the poor guy is the middle of some dental work to get a crown to repair it -- paid for and being manufactured now -- scheduled to wrap up next week. Once that process is finished, we will make arrangements to come home.
Not sure what the next move will be. Thank you for all of your love and
support. It will be so very good to be
home.
Oh Karen. I am so very, very sorry. Devastating. Sorry all those prayers didn't do the trick...yet. They continue.
ReplyDeleteI am so extremely sorry to hear this. The love, support, and prayers continue. Glad you will be back in the comfort of your home, close by to collect some of that support in the form of big hugs.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear that. I love you both and am saying lots of prayers. xxoo
ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks for you Karen.
ReplyDeleteAs Jeanette said, the prayers continue.
You're wonderful people and have the love of many many people.

Thanks everyone for your posts, texts, calls, email. I cried and cried and am done with that. Time now to assess the options. It's a rough blow and we can't make sense of it all but we are coming home! And we are so very happy about that.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to see this latest news. You and Fred are often in my thoughts and prayers. The praying continues and good to hear you will be back home.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear Karen. You are always in my thoughts and well wishes. We have to continue to have faith and hope that HE knows best and has better plans in store. Sending positive energy and strength your way.
ReplyDeleteBeen a while since a comment here. I check this regularly. Sorry to here it's one step forward and two back. I'm in the middle of dental hell myself. In the process of bone graft and sinus lift for upper implants. Nothing as with you, where life is on the line. Have a safe trip home. Hopefully UCLA will be kind to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words Ron. We are applying to several other Midwestern facilities, so we'll see what happens. UCLA is always kind to me, but with the high demand here there is only so much they can do. Sorry about the dental issues. I know how painful that can be. At least I'm home again where I can ride my bikes.
