Help Save Mike

Another sign/symptom of liver disease is skin and eyes that appear yellowish (jaundice). Mike does experience this, although the severity depends on how well (or poorly!) the biliary system is draining, which fluctuates a bit over time.

Anyone interested in exploring becoming a living liver donor should call the donor hotline at 312-695-0340

Quick update on things...

We're aware that a few people have contacted the donor hotline at 312-695-0340. Thank you for considering the process.

If a potential donor is interested, please do make sure you are taking the initiative in terms of contacting the transplant team and staying in touch about the status. In order to maintain high ethical standards and make sure the process is entirely voluntary, they will not track you down or aggressively pursue you about any next steps.

In terms of how Mike is doing; Other than, you know, having liver disease and dealing with the constraints that involves, Mike is feeling good and is still working and living life. MELD score has been holding steady in the low 20 range so not much has changed there.

Thanks again for supporting us and peace and love to all.
