Mom's surgery is now complete and was a complete success! Dr Schmitt (head surgeon) said the surgery went flawless with no complications what so ever. Her body is taking to the new liver very well and Dr Schmitt can already see the benefits of the new liver working. What an amazing surgery and an even amazing team of Dr's. We can not say enough about UVA Medical.
Mom will be taken to ICU soon where she will spend the next 24 to 48 hours having her vitals closely monitored while her body adapts to the new liver. She will also be on a heavy dose of immune suppressant drugs to help keep the body from rejecting the new organ, so the time in ICU will be important.
Thanks everyone for the continued prayers and support. What an amazing time for Mom and Ashley, two extremely amazing human beings.
