We are 14 hours away from Mayo Phoenix, so we also did a temporary move last year. A few weeks after we arrived my MELD went from 21 to 19. They did not take me off the list since the underlying numbers do fluctuate, instead they scheduled another round of labs. Sounds like they are doing the same for you?
However, before I could get the updated labwork done, I got the call to come in for transplant.
We stayed in Phoenix for another 2 months post-transplant, which worked out well because there was no way I was going to feel like packing up and doing a drive back home before then! The team there is great. Everyone is very caring ... including everyone we met on the transplant team as well as anyone we interacted while there - transplant floor nursing staff, lab staff, pharmacy, checkin, kitchen, etc. I'm almost 1-yr post now, and they are very responsive whenever I have questions or concerns. Best wishes to you!
