hi to all, i'm the mother-in-law person who quietly reads your posts, only twice feeling as though I had any right to at least offer my encouragement and praise. But I hope to offer more hope.

What started as evaluation for bad colon biopsies turned into a liver evaluation at a transplant center, placement onto transplant list, 1week later labs that increased MELD score, and call for liver transplant 14 days after being listed for my daughter-in-law. still has to have colon removal after healing this surgery. recovery has been the most remarkable event I have ever witnessed, and I am and RN!!! improved color within hours of surgery. Highly recommend anyone within Birmingham Alabama region, or anyone for that matter, hospital and doctor experience has been the best, (better than my own hospital).

Keep up sharing, your information has armed me with the right questions to ask, understanding of the problems people with UC encounter, and has truly allowed me to bond more with my son's wife because of all of you.

Will continue to quietly follow you all, and call for you in my prayers, and I really know prayers are answered, it's the timing that we may not understand, I know that's easy for me to say since this timing was swift. Keep the faith, keep looking for the silver lining, enjoying everyday to it's fullest, even if a large part of it is spent in bathrooms or doctor's offices!!!I feel because of your sharing and work a cure will be found for UC/PSC and all that stuff that has caused you all so much grief.

Thank you, may God bless.
