Day 20

Monday March 30, 2009

Today, was not the best day we had hoped for. Today we had found out that Jake's liver is shutting down. We are sad to know that he will not be able to depart for home tomorrow. We don't know why his liver is shutting down, but at the beginning of the transplant we knew if any organ was affected it would be the liver. The counts were not steady for about a week, and we were not told that it was bad. They are now showing concern because his counts are suppose to be between 0-40, and we are in the 300's and 700's. They have done some blood work, and a few things have came back negative, but that doesn't give us an answer to why this is happening. We hope that we find out, as soon as possible. It has been a very emotional week, and I apologize for anything that went wrong. Keep hanging in there Jake. You'll be home soon! I promise!
