Truly blessed! My Liver Transplant allowed us to celebrate our 32nd wedding anniversary with our family and friends on July 2, 2016, witness the birth of two more beautiful grandbabies, experience the joy of watching our youngest son graduate from high school and enter college, support our daughter while she competes in swimming all year round, care for my elderly mother each day, celebrate our oldest sons accomplishments, and praise God every day. Despite continuing to fight complications and infections, every day is a gift from God and I’m truly thankful!
Thank you for your support, prayers, love, and donations, Arnetta

Spoke to my Transplant Coordinator late this evening, numbers look good, no signs of rejection. However, one of the liver's enzymes is high but they're recheck it on Monday. For now, they're going to keep me on the high level of Prograf. Just coping with all side effects from the medicines: trimmers, horrible pain, thrush, weakness, and head aches, which is nothing compared to what I've been through. God is so amazing and I'm just pushing through it. Can't wait to get all this behind me.
