Nathaniel is officially listed for a liver transplant.
Now we wait.
Today we set up a website (nathanielgibson.me) to communicate what all is going on so I don’t have to copy/paste a long message all over the place.
Nathaniel had another paracentesis today, draining off some of the extra goo and taking pressure off his lungs and abdomen. Right now the goal is to keep him healthy enough to have a successful transplant. He’s doing PT at least once a day and trying to sit up as much as possible to keep his lungs open and happy. Everything is complicated, but we’re celebrating the win of getting on the list because it provides the opportunity for a positive outcome.
Tomorrow I’m going home to get my flu shot and my covid booster, see a friend for dinner, and try to get some stuff done at home including laundry. I’ll be back on Sunday. Nat’s parents will be down here for at least some of the weekend. If you want to come visit Nathaniel let me know.
