Thank you so much for the support and kind words. His team has been extraordinary. I just feel bad for him when he starts to feel frustrated and a little down. He's got a great fighting spirit. His team has told him that so much of what he's going through is normal and expected. I just wish he had people he could talk to who have gone through it who can confirm what he's feeling and going through. I really appreciate all the information and support as a caregiver as well. These resources look really good. Thank you again for your support. I am just glad there are communities like this for caregivers and patients.

@sarahdemare04 I had my liver transplant 9 weeks ago and the first month was extremely tough for me but trust me when I say it gets better day by day. It's overwhelming sometimes but I'm getting used to it. I'm walking a mile with my dog each morning now when it's not too hot in Tucson AZ. Staying hydrated is really important especially if your father is having diarrhea. One of the doctors told me to make drinking water my second job. I got a smart watch after surgery so I can monitor my health and I keep logs of my vitals and it keeps me busy and motivated. I have a partially closed artery in or around my liver so I'm on eliquist until my 4 month check up and an MRI. Prayer has kept me going ever since I got sick a year ago July 19 and that's giving me the strength, calmness and guidance I need. You guy's are already in my prayers.

@sarahdemare04 Your father can ask any questions that he might have to the community (Mayo Clinic Connect) and we will try to answer any questions that we can. It is different to go through it than what the doctors experience is. He can only state what has been relayed to him. Congratulations on your transplant.
