Thank you everyone for the nice welcome. My team informed me without acceptance of a higher risk liver, I would need a MELD of around 32. I knew I’d never last that long.

As you indicated, It seems that a liver considered high risk may actually not be serious and is treatable. I know everyone’s situation is different but for me it was the best option.

I really appreciate patients like you who pave the way! When asked if I would accept an organ from the high risk group I said, "yes". Truthfully I would take whatever I could. In the end it wasn't necessary for me to accept from a high risk donor. I'm glad you've shared your story so it is easier on thoes who come after you and are in your same situation. Congrats on a successful outcome and "thanks" for be brave for all of us in the transplant community. ❤
