Transplant Day!!!

We finally received the call we have all been waiting for this morning around 2 am. There is a liver available for Kaelyn! We are going into surgery sometime this afternoon. We will be at Childrens at 12 pm to get everything started.

The donor is a type O blood type, so there should be no need for the plasma cleaning that would be needed if it was a different blood type. That is about all we can know about the donor, we do know that it is in a different state. It will also need to be cut down to size to fit into Kaelyn's little body. But that should not create a problem.

I will try and update the site as soon as we know anything further.

We just came out of the hospital yesterday because Kaelyn had come down with a fever over the weekend. Her counts were very low. But as of yesterday they were on the rise. She is doing pretty well right now.

Please keep Kaelyn in your prayers and thoughts today as she undergoes this very extensive surgery. We love you all.

Love,

Angie
