I am so happy for you, Tiffany!! I am sending positive thoughts and prayers your way for a new liver.

No, she is home now, but still weak with dimentia-like symptoms. She has an appointment tomorrow to discuss issues. We noticed instantly after surgery(March 2012), that her pinky would stick out and now the whole hand shakes uncontrollably. What we have noticed lately is that her stomach is swelling and that hasn’t happened since the complications of water swelling after the surgery. I will remind my dad to bring it up at the doctor visit. Her chemo and radiation treatment was completed about one month ago. She has never been the same always in a chair, she doesn’t read anymore and she is depressed. This is a woman who was constantly putting others before herself and giving, giving, giving. My dad is no longer working and is her nursemaid, he seems spent and we (the kids) are worried about him too.
Thanks for replying.
Dear Jose,
I have been following your posts and my heart aches for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May your sister be in peace and watch over and protect you.

I did see this article but obviously my head was someone else. Thank you very much for posting. My mother had her surgery over two weeks ago and she is still in the hospital. She is still having a hard time keeping food down and hasn’t had a bowel movement since she has been there. Hopefully this happens soon so she can go home, recover, and then chemo. I just want this to go away.
Chrissy,
I am so sorry for what you and your family is going through. This just breaks my heart and I am so so sorry.

Before the day gets crazy at my work, and I won’t have time to comment, I wanted to say WOW to Cathy, what an amazing story, thank you so much for sharing and providing HOPE. I believe that my mother is in good hands with her doctor, Robin D. Kim. I would be interested to know if anyone has heard of him. What is the next step when do they start chemo? What can I do to help my mother and my dad through this long journey? Why does she have to be in the hospital for two weeks?
Thank you so much for your prayers, I too will include your mother in my prayers.
My mother did not have the whipple procedure. However, I wonder if this occured around the time she had her gallbladder removed which was over a year ago. She is in the ICU at University of Utah Hospital. The nurses said that she is doing so well that she may be moved out of ICU tomorrow, they said that in order for the breathing tube to be removed she has to breath a 900 and she reached 1900 this morning, she also passed exceptionally well on other tests, the nurses said they have never seen anyone reach that high, they are now calling her Lance Armstrong. My dad made a comment on facebook that if anyone thought my mother was fragile and delicate, they have no idea the strength she is capable of. She is expected to be at the hospital for two weeks. Thank you for your comments and support.
