Liver Transplant Here We Come

Hello there. Been awhile , sorry I haven't posted yet, been kinda busy. OK latest news is that Yesterday my Father Vince and I came up here for just a check up. We be known to us they had to admit my little Trinity cause they are sure she has fluid in her belly. Pretty much normal when the Kasi Procedure did not work at all. Dr Eralu (pronounced er-a-lu) said that we needed to admit her and get her started on her lab work and the faster we go the better off she would be. So did all that and now she has what is called a Ng tube down her nose that goes to the stomach to feed her better. I can still feed her normaly but this increases calories and what she needs at the moment is to gain weight so she can do better during the liver transplant. Ok as for the liver transplant we chose Seattle, Wa but they are on a contract and do not accept my heath plan, so now we are flying to Sanfransisco, Ca down to Stanford University! They are paying for it all food and all of that so that takes a big weight off our shoulders. Now its just the fact of when and and then its now. When we go home we have to have the NG tube with us at home so I will be probably staying there untill we get ready to leave to Ca. Update on her at this time, she has the Ng tube down her nose, and she has a I.V in her vein on the side of her head. Then she has a stocking cap over that so she doesn't get a wild hair and pull it out. She is in good spirits and she s the nurses comming in the morning and waking her baby sleep, but she seems fine and her belly has gone down alot since last night. So that is that and hope to talk to friends and family soon. Till next time
