Guest guest Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hello everyone! I'm a new member to this group and thought I would introduce myself. I am a single mom (dog mom) with two furkids (maltese), live in the Seattle area and work at Microsoft. That basically sums up my life - work and my dogs. I joined this support group to learn more about liver disease, transplants and of course find support from others who understand the challenges of health issues specifically liver issues. My sister has Autoimmune hepatitis and Autoimmune cholangitis. We are getting closer to transplant time based on her scores and general health. She has been diagnosed and ill for a long time; however, we are getting down to the wire, as they say. We hope to move forward with a live liver transplant and have the donor lined up and confirmed. This is my younger sister and the donor is my brother who is a couple of years older than I am. As with anyone you love it is challenging to watch someone struggle as you stand by watching helplessly. My sister is single so she is working to make sure she has insurance and take care of herself. My parents are elderly and unable to care for my sister but luckily my elder sister lives nearby. I'm not living in the same state so I'm not much help. There's a short intro. I'd love to hear from anyone who has the same illness or their loved one is experiencing something similar. Thank you! . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
