THE CALL UPDATE

[b0nnie12]

sorry for not posting sooner, my brother was taken to theatre at 430 am. Just had an update and op has went well, he will be out of theatre in an hour. I'm still in shock at how fast things have moved. Thank you so much everyone for your replies and good luck wishes x

That's great! Wishing him a speedy recovery. K

[b0nnie12 in reply to Hidden]

thanks, they are happy with how it went and tomorrow should unsedate him and his recovery will begin

[solybananas in reply to Hidden]

My wife & myself wish him a speedy recovery

[Isabelle2]

That is fantastic, and a huge relief for everyone I’m sure. No two transplants are identical but I hope in a month or two he’ll feel like a new man.

[b0nnie12 in reply to Isabelle2]

he looked a lot better than I thought he would despite being on ventilator with all the machines in ICU

[Hidden]

Great news, a new year and a new lease. xx

[b0nnie12 in reply to Hidden]

hope so, thank you so much. I forget sometimes how far he has come, from the varises bursting, getting tips, all the HE episodes and ascites but throughout it all he has been positive whilst as the time has went on I have started to doubt it ever happening

[Kate50]

Brilliant news hope he has a speedy recovery xx

[b0nnie12 in reply to Kate50]

thank you, we hope so too

[Kate50 in reply to b0nnie12]

[b0nnie12 in reply to Yuiop]

[Hidden]

AWESOME!!!! How wonderful you made my day. Stay strong, I know you must be tired now, I hope you will try to get some rest. Jaycee

[b0nnie12 in reply to Hidden]

[h0b0]

Thank you so much, he's getting such good care and I know he will give his recovery 100%. He's only 44 and he is so lucky to be given this chance.

[IPCN]

Delighted to hear the transplant went well. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Love and best wishes to you all xxx

[b0nnie12 in reply to IPCN]

Thank you so much. Just taking it a day at a time but everything is going well so far

[Adelou]

Fab news, hope his recovery goes well and you get the sleep that you need xx

[b0nnie12 in reply to Adelou]

Managed to get a few hours sleep last night, today his breathing tube was removed, they said that the liver is working as it should and he has been transferred to high dependancy. He has a high temperature so getting antibiotics for that and started on anti rejection meds and steroids. Tomorrow they said he will be getting up to sit in a chair.

[Adelou in reply to b0nnie12]

Sounds good they are determined to get them up & about quickly depending on any drains & stuff they might have. Hubby was up in a chair 2 days after transplant & he was brought a portable bicycle to pedal while he was sitting to build up his leg strength.

[Julie8]

Oh that’s so exciting thanks for letting us know

[b0nnie12 in reply to Julie8]

Thank you so much

[Dorset123]

Strength to both of you. The light at the end of that tunnel will soon get brighter

[b0nnie12 in reply to Dorset123]

He looks better already, it's been such a rollercoaster but I'm so happy and grateful that he has got a second chance

[Hannbax]

Hi I would like to wish your brother a speedy recovery and you all a very happy new year. I'm 3 years post transplant now. All the best 💚xxx

[Catherine2017]

So glad for him prayers for a speedy recovery.
