Transplant day (for real this time!)

We received the call this morning around 8:30. A donor had been found! All we know about the donor is that it is a baby and that it was taken off life support today. The liver will not need to be cut to size, which is good, and the blood type is O, so she will not have to undergo the plasma ferresous.

It is about 6:45 PM right now. Kaelyn has been in surgery since 1:30 PM. We have received a couple of updates from the OR and Kaelyn is doing good. They have taken out her liver and are in the process of sewing the new one right now.

So far so good.

I will update later...
