    I came across your post while holding my baby girl and sitting beside my son, I am usually quite strong in front of them but this has moved me to the point of tears, you're an amazing father and I am praying for you and your family

    I'll be cheering from the sidelines. You'll do it. Go ahead and ask those same doctors who advised the weight loss to get you some added support, like a dietitian.

    OP is not longer a registered user. I hope his son got the transplant.

    About 15 years ago had a baby boy who has a chromosomal issue, and part of his health problems included liver failure. I never had the opportunity to donate part of my liver, but would have if I had been given a choice. Long story short is that we lost our little man due to liver failure and it was the most painful things I have ever been through. There are no words. So of you have the chance and it's just 80 pounds in the way, you are fortunate that you can help. I know as a parent we will do anything to help our babies, and I know how strong the desire to hold on is. We (members of this wonderful online community, all working towards a healthier self) will be here if you need support.Unfortunately I know how much it hurts if things don't go as planned. You can do it and you will do it. Your baby is lucky to have you.
