Thanks again! She did get out of ICU a day earlier (still on the special transplant ward tho) and I even talked to her on the phone!

Hooray! :D

Wonderful! I'm glad to hear she's doing well, Rose!

Good news. Glad to hear it Rose.
Get well thoughts still flowing.

Thanks everyone! She's coming along quickly...

I know it's way too early to be bugging you for more updates, but... well... so... how's she doing? :)

Yeah, like he said.

This is family, we need to know you and yours are all well.

Lol, no problem.

Her roommate and the bro-in-law are coming home for a short visit to pick up stuff they forgot to take with them. A friend from Michigan is going to go hang out at the hospital with her until they get back. Basically, she's doing well enough that it's safe to have no one there with medical power of attourney for a while.

At this point, the doctors are making sure she's physically healing properly and getting the anti-rejection drugs regulated.

I've spoken to her on the phone again, and once I got my mother to turn down the tv so bits of that weren't inserting themselves into the conversation, she made good sense (which is more than she's done since June).

That's good.

Thank you Rose.

Stay strong Lady, we are still praying for your family.

Yes! This is sounding very positive. :)

Latest update:

She came home yesterday, and we had a cookout today to celebrate!

Steak, shrimp, corn, caesar salad. I made apple crisp.

Yippee! That sounds most excellently positive! I'll be she enjoyed that, too!

Did you cook the shrimp on the barby?

:dance: :blob7:

Glad to hear she's home and doing well, Rose!!

Great news Rose. Glad to hear it.

So glad to hear she's recovering nicely!

No, the steak was on the barbie. The shrimp was under the broiler.

Mentally, she's clearer than she's been in a year. Physically, even with a giant incision to heal, she's better than she's been in months.

This is sounding better all the time!

Let's put it this way... Liver failure is a b---h!

Any of the vital organs give trouble, it is bad.

Glad to hear your mother-in-law is recovering nicely.

More bad news... my nephew's 18 year old daughter, Danielle, died of complications of a form of progeria (premature aging) yesterday. She went in for tests on her liver and the doctors discovered heart damage. She died in the cardiac ICU after surgery.

She's in the 3rd picture down (and others).
