This is Norninew’s husband, Ray. I hope the mods do not mind me using norinew’s Id, but I do not have a ID of my own and I thought writing an update on her would be an acceptable reason to bend the rules. As I write this, she is undergoing evaluation for a liver transplant. The liver has failed, completely, and a new liver is required if she is to survive long term. Right now, she is stable, no infection and with a strong heart and lungs, so I have every reason to hope she will come though this just fine. She counts many of you on this board as among her best friends, and I when I see her tomorrow I will tell her of the many good wishes and prayers coming from her friends on the SDMB. Take care, Ra ---

Crossing fingers that a new liver comes up, the transplant goes well and all is back to normal for you all! I just had a friend go thru a kidney transplant and the worse part was the waiting - here’s hoping your wait is very short. ---
