    If you're the praying type, can you send my Godson prayers? If not, positive vibes, helping reiki, etc are more than welcomed.

    3 days after the official call to be on the transplant list, this evening Fam got the call: they have a liver for littleman. They're about halfway to the hospital and will be there likely until after the new year.

    We were told 3-6mo on average. It took 3 days. We are all freaked out from the suddenness. The unexpected. The nerves are real. I'll give updates as we go. What I know now: surgery will be tonight most likely. After surgery, he will be in NICU (average is about 8 days). From there, they stay in the area for minimum 30 days after release from NICU to monitor as he heals.

    Wow !! So pleased that he has a liver lined up, sending every positive vibe, good wishes and everything I can to help your Godson and family. Having been through this with my 6 month old DGS just exactly 4 months ago today I know what the road ahead holds for you and all emotions & thoughts going through all your heads, be prepared for him to be in surgery at least 10 hours, there is a lot of micro-surgery involved and then ICU for a while before you hear how he is. So looking forward to hearing how he is progressing, xxxx.

    @CamandJarvis Praying for Godson and his medical staff! How old is he? I missed that.

    He turned 2 on June 18th so juuuuust shy of 2.5 years.


    Also, apparently he tested positive for COVID as well as for the antibodies. His chest xray looked phenomenal and has zero symptoms so they retested to see if it was a false positive. Even doctors were really confused on that. Not sure what will happen or if this is a trial run of transplant now. If he is truly positive, they'll go home and we all quarantine, no transplant. If not, I'm not sure if liver still viable by the time everything is ready to go. We will have to wait and see, I suppose. I'm so nervous for my little man <3

    Thanks everyone for prayers/well wishes/healing thoughts. You have no idea how much it means to all of us

    Fingers crossed the positive COVID test is an error. Crazy that this is out of the blue and that no one has been sick.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    11/23 DNW โ€“ spent last night at MIL's caring for her
    11/24 134 โ€“ no exercise yesterday, MIL successfully transferred to a nearby care home, sadly due to Covid no-one can visit for 14 days โ€“ she's in isolation and as she is practically stone deaf phone calls are "challenging" - she refuses to wear hearing aids! Now the process of clearing her bungalow starts. 114 calories in credit.
    11/25 134 โ€“ 11.31 miles walked yesterday, incorporated a walk/jog from week 2 of C 2 5K, took me 49.09 minutes, I'll do the same today. 700 calories in credit. And the drama continues !! MIL taken to A&E last night with suspected sepsis, they have admitted her, waiting to find out how she is & whether as she's non covid we can visit, I doubt it, but we need to ask.
    exercise.png

    11/26 133.4 โ€“ was hoping the gain from a week without exercise and eating of plan would drop quickly! 10.92 miles walked yesterday including walking and jogging 5K in 48.02 mins (and in the rain too!), today I plan on doing day 1 of week 3 of C25K. 909 calories in credit.
    11/27 133.4 โ€“ 10.05 miles walked yesterday including completing my 5K yesterday morning in 48.58. When does it become enjoyable to run? I find it such a chore!!! 710 calories in credit. MIL not got sepsis, but a particularly nasty and severe UTI, hopefully only in hospital for a few days, we can't visit due to covid restrictions!!
    11/28 134 โ€“ 10.64 miles walked yesterday including day 3 of week3 C25K in 49.38 mins, I know I did my Turkey Trot yesterday, but if we're doing a kick 2020 to the curb then I need to keep jogging/walking! 259 calories in credit, gammon yesterday โ€“ high sodium?
    11/29 134 โ€“ 6.58 miles walked yesterday, calories 170 over. MIL discharged from hospital to the care home, restarts her 14 day isolation again.
    11/30 133.8 โ€“ 4.06 miles walked yesterday, started clearing MIL's bungalow โ€“ so much stuff; she's a hoarder! I'm going to continue to work through C25K and hope to improve on my time.
    12/01 133.4 - 7.42 miles walked yesterday. 514 calories in credit.
    12/02



    KEEP SAFE EVERYONE :). Keep calm โ€“ we're all in this together!

    Update: Getting sent home

    Second COVID test came back positive (as well as antibodies - really baffling us all). No transplant this time. Back on the list and back to waiting. Hopefully the COVID thing is just a fluke of sorts that they're being cautious about. Nobody feeling ill, no signs of even a small cold for anyone. Crossing fingers it isn't pre-symptom positive testing and that nothing comes of it.

    Here's to waiting for round 2 which we will hopefully be better prepared for when the time comes. Thank you all <3

    Then I read about this, and suddenly me feeling salty about my brother doesn't feel even the slightist bit important. I'm so sorry to hear about your Godson. I will keep him (and you!) in my prayers.
