The call

Hi everyone hope you all keeping well as can be ! Well hubby got call yesterday so off we went to hospital omg was so scared 😦. They done bloods and we waited the surgeon come and told us that the liver was on route . A few hours later the surgeon come to say liver wasn’t good enough after biopsy. So back home we come . Hubby was fine about it . They was a guy there who’d had a six organ transplant omg he’d been in 7 weeks but looked fantastic . If you goggle Msn who had 6 organ transplant from Belfast you can read his story . Absolutely fantastic . So just wondering after the first call how long did it take for the next ??? Xxx

Some people get the call almost immediately, one poster on here got the call as they were driving home after the first 'no go'. Fingers crossed a good and suitable liver comes around again soon. What blood type is hubby?

All the best, Katie

Hi

Sorry to hear liver wasn't suitable, hope your hubby gets call asap. Take care xxxx

[Hidden]

I got 4 calls in 5 weeks so if his blood type is widely compatible, it should be soon. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

My second call was ten days after so hopefully won't be long and he will be on the other side 😊

[Hidden in reply to jojokarak]

Omg finding it really scary as know it could happen any day not . Think I got used to the call not coming and then it did . Puts everything back to been so real xxx

[jojokarak in reply to Hidden]

It certainly does but I was in hospital anyway so I was constantly distracted. If you can keep yourselves busy it's definitely the best way x

[Identity75]

Exactly one week after the first no go call. Won’t be long now. Wishing you both all the best.

[Hidden in reply to Identity75]

Thank you for replying how are u keeping after op x

[Identity75 in reply to Hidden]

Am doing really well thanks. Scar has healed really well, such a neat job. Still a few aches and tenderness but it’s early days still.

Before you know it you’ll have your old hubby back and fighting fit.

[Hidden in reply to Identity75]

Hi Debski, got my first call which was a no go, and the the one I had been waiting for about 5 days later. “Ray, if this liver is half as good as they are telling us, it’s got your name written all over it” well if it has it’s in somebody else’s body”as I haemmoraged almost immediately and they fought like crazy to keep me alive. The haemorrhage was caused by an original resection scar which they had to open to get to my liver. 15 months later I am still here to tell the tale with my old liver still doing it’s thing. I write about the whole experience as part of my blog and the relevant one is called “The transplant or not” 1liver1life.wordpress.com I now update it when something else happens and as I am going in for embolisation number 10 tomorrow an update will undoubtably follow. What happened to me is extremely rare and I am sure your husband will be fine. I hope it happens soon and you can go on and get back to some sort of normality.

Ray

Oh dear what a story can’t belive you on to number ten embolization. Does that mean u can’t have transplant then xx

[Barnetaccounts in reply to Hidden]

No unfortunately not. But the experience of the whole journey has been incredible to this point. I obviously don’t want to die, and I am ever the optimist. I am off on a cruise from Singapore to Abu Dhabi in about 6 weeks and have done so much since things didn’t quite work out. I live every day to the maximum and just listen to my body, when I am tired I sleep. I truly hope things go well for you I think I’ve had the stress for everybody else. xxx

[Hidden in reply to Barnetaccounts]

Bless ya yep live everyday as it comes enjoy ya cruise 🚢 that’s gonna be fantastic xxx

[Hidden]

Was so funny though as we put his bag in his car with everything in then drove to hospital in mine ??? Crazy brains 🧠 or what . The nurses did laugh xxx

[Danisleigh]

My son had his first call on 4th Feb but they sent us home on the 5th as the liver wasn’t suitable. We then got another call on the 6th Feb and he was transplanted in the early hours of the 7th! It was a rollercoaster but he is now 22 days PT and is home and doing well.

[Hidden in reply to Danisleigh]

Or bless him . Glad he’s doing fine xxxx
