August 2015 Update:
We are still here waiting on the liver. A lot has happened during the the last couple of months. I have been called in for a back up 3 times and hospitalized once. I had to come to realization, it is not on my time but God's time. During this time, I want to thank my sister Jonelle. She uprooted her family and moved in with me. She has been with every step. I understand what they mean when they say you have to have a strong supportt system. Make sure you have a good support system.
