Hi all
My name is Jay. My daughter was born 15 years ago with billiary atrisa (dont know if i spelled it right you would figure after 15 years i would know how to)
Well anyway when she was 5 weeks old she had a kisa done. And for 15 years that worked great. About 4 to 5 weeks ago she became very yellow and after going to the Dr's office we found that after 15 years it was time for transplant. I was a match back when she was 2 and then she got better and didnt need the transplant back then but here we are 13 years later and its transplant time.
They sent me for a bunch of tests and I will find out Tuesday 5/18/10 if i am a match good enough to be a donor. But all of the tests have been coming back good.
I am not really sure why i am posting this other then to hear from other live donors and what i have to look forward to. Its been a roller coster of a week one minute i am ok with it and the next scared as heck. Im not really sure what i am scared about. The pain of waking up afterwards the thought of waking up and her not, or just the thought of it not working. I have full faith in her Dr. who is Sukru Emre at Yale New Haven hospital. Maybe i am just scared of the unknown. The funny thing if all goes well transplant can be as soon as 05/25/10. She is in the hospital now and i am working for a few more days and then i am on days off. The drs tell me i will be out of work for 6mths and the pain when i wake up it a 20 on a scale of 1 to 10. I know i am doing a good thing and There is nothing i wouldnt do for my daughter. So when they gave me an option to say no and they would say its a medical reason i laughed at them. But it still doesnt make me feel any less anxious.
Well thanks for letting me spew it really helped. |

Welcome to you Jay!
Please check out the other posts here as we have a number of liver donors both past and recent (Tawnya just donated part of her liver to her father). There is information in the threads, but I know our lovely Dawn, Nicole and Tawnya will be right here to help you out and answer any questions. Keri is also on here and waiting to hear about donating to her father.
I hear you - the fear of the unknown is the worst. When the other liver donors chime in, I am sure it will put your mind at ease on a lot of things. I am just sorry that I am not of much more help to you on the subject - I know kidneys, but not livers!
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter, and it is a wonderful thing you are doing to help her.
You have come to the right place, and we are glad you are here.

Hi Jay, and welcome to transplant buddies!!
First of all, i think what your doing for your daughter is awesome! I just donated to my father 2 1/2 weeks ago and I know it was the right decision. I tested for my dad last year, and when I found out I was his exact match, I knew I had to go forward. I was scared at first too. I heard a lot of horror stories and then I found this site, talked to Dawn and Nicole, and I found peace.
My dad had liver cancer so he had to go through chemo for several months before he was a candidate for transplant. I was in class one day and the phone rang, it was my coordinator telling me my dad was ready for transplant and do I still want to donate. I said yes, and here we are today.
Don't worry about the surgery. That part went great. It usually does. The worst part is the PAIN, and standing up straight is hard for about 2 weeks. The pain is unbearable. Let your team know it's a concern of yours and they will do their best to manage it. I talked to the anesthesiologist before the surgery and asked for an epidural and told them my pain level was a 1. They took that into consideration and while I was in ICU and my regular room, the pain management team checked on me constantly. Just make sure that you get your boluses every hour or two so the pain doesn't catch up. I didn't know the pain could get worse and didn't ask to be bolused and I paid the price.
If you do that, then you'll be pain free while your in the hospital. I was on liquid Dilaudid and it worked really good. It went through my epidural constantly and then I could have my nurse boluse my every hour if I needed more pain control. Go for that and you will be fine.
It hurt to cough, laugh and sneeze but after 2 weeks I stopped all pain med's and I am fine today. My incision is a little tight but that's it. It doesn't hurt. I was very healthy going into surgery and I'm a runner, I think that was my advantage. You'll do great, don't worry. It's just the first 2 weeks that are the hardest. You feel some pain and I felt a lot of uncomfortableness in my body. Like I couldn't sit still or I had to move around, I just couldn't get comfortable. That lasted a week in- a- half and then it just went away.
The hard part is waiting until the day of surgery. I had those what if's or the roller coaster of emotions too and I think that's normal. If you go in healthy and do everything the team tells you, you will recover quickly. I feel almost 100% today. I just can't lift anything heavy and I'm slower than I usually am, but I feel like myself, I have a big appetite and I can finally stand up straight. They cut you right through your stomach muscles so you can't stand up straight for the first 2 weeks and when you try, I got an ache in my back. That is gone now, and I'm standing straight just fine.
The also gave me potassium through my IV and that burned like hell. If you need to get potassium make sure your nurse dilutes it or you'll cry for 6 hour like I did. They leave it in your IV for 6 hours. I was caught off guard with that and I wish someone would of told me about that. It was really painful. My doctors told me to take 4-6 weeks off of work. They told you 6 months? That seems like a long time.I can't think of anything else to prepare you right now. If you have any question at all, I'll be happy to respond. Just stay positive and strong.
I thought of all the things you thought of. In the end, it all worked out so far. My dad isn't rejecting. He is having a blood pressure issue and had to go back to the hospital 4 days ago. The team told me the recipient could be in and out of the hospital for the first 6 months after transplant. It's not uncommon. So don't panic if this happens to your daughter. She will have it harder than you, trust me. Once you've donated, you'll heal and recover. She has to get blood work done twice a week and take pills for the rest of her life, check her blood pressure, be on a limited diet, I mean they go through a lot. But after she levels out, life couldn't be sweeter.
Sounds like your surgery is fast approaching, so please, keep us posted. I hope I helped a little. Your going to do great. I wish you and your family the best in your up and coming journey. It's going to be all right. God is mighty and kind. Take care. T |

Hi Jay,
Allow me to add to our roll call welcome! It is an incredible gift that you are about to give your daughter. As parents we give our children life but it is rather rare to be able to give that gift twice!
I imagine you are speaking of Yale- New haven in CT, an excellent hospital. I have been involved with a local mom and her 17 year old son who will be having their transplant there.
I am fairly local to you so if you would like to meet and talk I would be happy to do that. I know this is scary but if you are determined that this is what you want then we will be your biggest cheerleaadersthrough the entire event and after.

and last but nottt leasttt--
Hi jay!! I'm sorry to "meet" under these circumstances, but I am glad you wandered over to this site... it really is the one the best sites out there! I donated to my dad in July '09 and here we are ten months later like it never happened! I live in the Bronx, so I am also pretty local to you. My hospital is New York Presbyterian Medical Center. Its definitely an EXTREMELY crazy roller coaster ride from start to finish, but its amazing you are even going this far already.
My email address is smurfet04@aol.com I'd love to talk to you more and help u out in ANY way i can!
Good Luck!
ps- God Bless you Tawnya for your energy in typing these huge posts, I definitely did not have ANY energy to type anything, but i'm happy ur around here!!
Jay the one thing you will learn is that while the surgeries are pretty much similar each of our recovery stories are pretty different, so listening to everyones different experiences will help u!
Good luck!
Keep your eye on the prize, and your arms around those you love.

HI everyone. Welcome Jay. I am being tested for my father on the 27 and 28. I am so scared. But I know at the same time if i am able to do this I should. Both my brothers have been tested and aren't able to do it. One of my brother's has a genetic disorder with his liver and it is possible I have it to. I am hopeful I am match but so scared of the whole process. I feel if we are able to save someone who deserves a longer life we should do it. |

Thank you all for your help so far.
Its weird....... today i am at peace. I know everything is out of my hands now. They gave me an option to say No but who could say no. I am a firefighter and I help people on a regular basis so No is not in my vocabulary. One thing i have noticed is that the what ifs really really get you thinking. At this point like i said its all out of my hands and in Gods. I have never been a very religious person but i found through all of this he is here in everything we see and do. I have also never really been an emotional person either and that too has change. (i dont know if i really like that part though)
Well like i said and keep saying I have found peace with everything and really cant wait. This Tuseday we meet with the big boss of surgery and he will either give me the green light or not. And if there is a green light May 25 looks to be the date of my daughters new birth and my change of life. No more smoking eating right and doing the things i should do. What a complete change for me LOL
And in my ramblings if i didnt say thank you yet Thank you to all its really good to hear from people who have gone through this with no hitch. I has been a very very big help and i am no longer scared for me. I am praying that the liver takes in her and all goes well for her. That is my number 1 concern and the only thing i worry about now.
I will let everyone know my progress as we proceed.

Hi Jay
Welcome to Transplant Buddies
I wish you the very best. Please update us on what the chief of surgery has to say. Your daughter is a very blessed young lady.
We have a young lady here who received a liver from an organ donor when she was very young. She is now in her thirties and ran a marathon last year.
I am looking forward to hearing more updates.

Hi Keri. I know this whole process is scary, but don't worry. Take good care of yourself before the surgery. Quitting cigarettes is a great start. Keep doing everything you would normally do until the surgery date. They wheel you in, put you to sleep, and then you wake up, and it's over. Then you just focus on your recovery. It's going to be OK, I promise. I all ready feel like myself and it's only been 2 1/2 weeks!
In any case, we are all here for you. Any concerns, fears, just anything, know your not alone. Take deep breaths and try to be happy about what your doing and look at all the positive that will come out of this. T |

Hi, Jay. It's so funny you say your at peace now because that is exactly what happened to me. I was so petrified at first, and then god whispered in my ear, and I was calm. I also laughed when they told me I could back out any time. That wasn't an option for me. I love my dad, my family, I was doing this and nothing could change my mind, and now that it's over it was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. No regrets.
Not smoking is the best thing you could do for yourself and your over all health. You won't miss those ciggies. As far as food, I'm eating everything I did before and I feel fine. You'll get back to all the things you did before. What you are going to do is life changing. After my donation I look at life differently. I'm glad I exercised and ate right all along because afterwords you see how precise life really is.
Try not to stress about whether the liver will take. It's in gods hands and I have a feeling that everything is going to turn out great for you and your family. Stay positive and strong. I can't wait to hear your journey. What you are doing for your little girl is a wonderful miracle in the making. Keep us posted. T |

Jay - my best wishes for a successful transplant for you and your daughter. Your mention of her new birthday reminded me of a note I recently received from the recipient of my kidney when I wished her a happy birthday. It said, "Well, that birthday isn't the one one that matters anymore. Oct 5, 2007 is the only one that really counts "
I hope your transplant journey is beautiful and blessed.

Well I am no longer a donor. Met with the doctor and he said my lower lobe was five percent too small. And they can't cut into my large section because of a vein. From feeling hopeful to helpless in one swoop. For 15 years I was a match and now I'm not just like that. I feel my wife some how blames me and I'm blaming myself too. The only silver lining is my older daughter is the same blood type and started testing so ill keep you advised. |

Jay I am sorry to hear this. No one should blame you..including yourself. You had no control over the outcome of this. I pray your older daughter is willing and able to be the donor. If you think your daughter would like to talk to other liver donors..give her this site and I am sure Dawn and some others would love to talk with her...
Again, I am sorry you are not able to do this for your daughter. Don't blame yourself.

Jay,
I am so sorry for the recent turn of events. When I donated to Anthony and he finally started to turn the corner it seemed that all was well in the universe. but then troubles began and his recovery was not meant to be, that is a difficult pill to swallow for a sister and I can only begin to imagine as a parent what/where your feelings and thoughts are now.
I don't know were you stand in faith but I firmly believe that the Lord places us where we need to be in life.
My prayer is that your daughter is a match and willing to donate. she can call me at any time to discuss the process etc... my # 401.451.6393. Just try to keep in mind that if she is not up to this task that she is also suffering with your families troubles and being the only possible hope is a large burden to bear for any person especially a child.
I am here if you need or want to talk. just dial my number
my prayers are with you and your family

Jay - not to worry. You started the ball rolling and gave others the opportunity to consider something they might not have considered otherwise. I think about all the stories I read, people I met and of course the good people here on TBuddies who supported, encouraged and gave advice - pretty sure it wouldn't have happened without them. So chin up - by stepping forward you did your part!

Well more bad news today........ My older daughter cant be a donor. Something about her APC number and clotting history. After getting that bad news we wound up in the hospital because the younger daughters labs came back with low potassium. So here we sit in the hospital again. No good news today and I wonder if there will ever be good news. Its funny liver giver you say God puts us where he wants us at the time. I have always felt that. I am a Police Officer and we respond to medical calls also. The guys at work make fun of me because i wind up at the most critical accidents and medical calls when im working and i have numerous saves. So I know God puts me where he wants me. But why here and why now. He says he will never close his hands with out opening his hands another way. Right now i feel like he hasnt and doesnt care. I know i am wrong at least i hope i am but i am at a loss. I sound like a little baby not getting his way but I just dont understand anymore. |

Jay the Lord has not forgotten you. I know sometimes it seems like he has...trust me. I am going through about the biggest battle of my life right now phyiscally and I tend to ask God..where are you in this? I can't see any good in what I am going through. But I just have to trust that He is in control of my life and I know He knows what is going on and He will bring me through..one way or another. Some things happen that we can't explain and will never understand. I pray your daughter's potassium goes back to normal. I also commend you for the job you do. That is awesome!!

Jay,
We all have a picture in our heads of how we want things to turn out. When reality doesn’t match the picture there’s disappointment, discouragement, anger, fear – these are all emotions associated with mourning. In this case mourning the loss of how we thought things should happen. I think we all know a little or in some cases a lot about what this feels like.
In the case of God answering a prayer it’s one of four answers 1)Yes 2)No 3)Wait or 4)Here’s something even better. The mother of the recipient of my kidney told me of getting to the point where they were out of options. Being the only child of a single mother and having a very small extended family she had reached the end. She recalled the date she handed it over the the Lord and trusted in His answer whatever that answer would be. That very date (Nov. 7, 2006) was the day I met with the transplant coordinator for the first time. It would be another 11 months before the transplant took place.
I guess sometimes a “wait” can feel like a “no” and “here’s something better” can be measured only after the fact. Until then hold on, hope on and trust on – the light will come.

Hi all
Well the past 4 days have been a roller coaster ride from hell and my daughter hasnt even had the transplant yet.
Lets see on tuesday we found out that my older daughter couldnt be a donor. Then we got admitted to the hospital because younger daughter had very low potassium levels. So they started giving her potassium via an IV. On Wensday my brother inlaw started testing to be a donor so we will find out soon how that works out. On Thursday they got her potassium issues leveled out but now her albium levels were low so you guessed it time for albuim via IV. After 2 courses of that both her potassium and albuim levels are good. that was as of last night Friday. This morning the Drs came in and said her numbers are still normal with the exception that she is now animiac and she will need a blood transfussion and she might be bleeding from some where. She has never had any type of bleeding problem before. I swear the Drs keep putting stuff in her that leechs stuff out of her. Has anyone had these problems pre transplant and if we are having these problems now what the heck is going to happen post transplant.
My wife is starting to go crazy staying at the hospital all the time she never leaves and refuses to. This has just been one hell of a week I told her last night stop the ride i want to get off. |

Hi, Jay. I'm so sorry to hear about all the problems you and your family are having, and that you can't donate to your daughter. Sounds like your daughter is having a rough time. Did the doctor's explain why she is bleeding from somewhere? You said she's sick now and she needs a transplant, so it could be a combination of things. Once she gets a transplant things may look up for her.
I know these times are hard and stressful on families. Two years ago, I moved my mom in with my husband and I to take care of her until she passed away. She had pancreatic cancer and it was the most stressful time in my life. It was the first time I had to deal with a family member dying of an illness. If i could go back in time, I would of handled some situations differently. When my dad got liver cancer and needed a transplant, I handled things better because I'd been down a familiar road before.
It's always hard to deal with things the first time around but try to be understanding of your wife and your daughter's. Imagine what your little one is going through. Your wife probably can't help but stay by your daughter's side at all times. It's a mother's instinct. I speak from experience. I stayed up for 4 days straight when my mom was sick. I couldn't help it.
If you can, stay calm and be there for each other. Don't fall apart or get off the train. Family is everything. Things may improve significantly when your daughter gets her transplant. I hope you find a donor for her. My dad had tiny bumps in the road after his transplant, but he's doing good now. I hope things work out for you guys. We are all here for you. So vent, yell, complain, and keep us posted. T |

Hi All
Well yesterday was another turn and dip on this roller coaster ride. My brother in-law went for testing and all was going well. The Doctors were very very pleased with his numbers and it looked promising we found a liver. Then came the bad news. During the CAT scan portion of the test they found a cancerious tumor on my Brother in-laws kidney. If it wasnt for the testing they would have never found it. It didnt show up in the blood tests or urine tests. Ironic isnt it. He was trying to save her life and in turn she ended up saving his. He starts going to the Dr. next week and they are going to remove his kidney. I'm telling you you cant make this stuff up. We are now out of relitaves that can be donors now we punt. We will have to go public looking for a donor or hope a liver comes in |

Hi all
Haven't posted in a while. Here's the update. Got to donor number 7 who is a perfect match. Surgery is scheduled for Sept 21. But wait now that would have been too smooth. Tonight at about 5 pm got a call from yale transplant center. They have a liver available for my daughter. So here we sit in the room waiting for 5 am to roll around when my 15 year old will under go surgery. What a long road to get here it has been. I will keep you all updated.
