Jayme is in the hospital still. She went in on Sunday night because her incision started bleeding. That turned out to be ok, but I think they were surprised at how sick she was in general. The toxins have been building up, so she got a little loopy yesterday, but is doing much better today. There was some concern that her acites was infected, but it turned out to be ok. They seem to really be taking great care of her here. She has already been seen a number of times by the hepatologist as well as a nephrologist. She will probably be in the hospital for another day or two as they make sure that she is stable and her blood pressure goes up (she has really low blood pressure, which I guess is normal for her, but has all of the doctors worried).

They are talking transplant and the social worker over transplants went to talk to her today and I will be talking to her as well. We called SSI today and got her benefits transferred here and they automatically signed her up for Medicaid (what a relief!). There is some confusion over getting coverage for this month, but we will get it all cleared up. They are really doing their best to get her ready for a transplant. I know that I am not alone in saying it's about time!!!
