I am happy to say that I am nine months post transplant with no complications. I had Asophagial varasies ten plus years ago and nearly bled out. I developed Acidies 7 months into apstaning from Alcohol consumption and learned during one of two parasyntethys hospitalizations that I had a meld score of 27. I was told by my liver specialists that I had end stage Liver disease. He referred me to a transplant surgeon. Before I could be evaluated for a liver transplant. I contracted E-Coli and my Meld core caped at 40. I was told I was in the 45 range. I was transferred to a transplant hospital were I was put on the transplant list and received a gift of life within three days. Just the other day I opened a letter from the hospital informing me my Meld score is 40 and I will not be leaving the hospital without a liver transplant.10 months late. GOD BLESS!
