Liver transplant - Let's support each other

@tgshomes, Welcome! I am happy that your dad has you to support him during the transplant process. From my experience, the process can be frightening and even lonely. So learning all about it, will benefit your dad, mom, and you. I like to think of Mayo Connect discussions as a way to learn from the patients who have experienced the transplant journey themselves. Be assured that we are available day to day and 24/7. I invite invite your questions any time you think of one.
Other members have shared about their own Brain fog battle, and Hepatic encephalopathy. I want to tag the following members to this conversation. @racing212, @gaylea1, @contentandwell. @livertrex, @wildcat
Is your dad scheduled for his transplant evaluation? What questions do you have?
Is he looking for a living liver donor?

Thank you! I am getting used to the chat format, and answered all the recent comments first before I saw this one. Now I know how it works!
My Dad and I are very close, and I want to help my mom and myself as much as possible for this long road we are on, and about to be on.
We are currently waiting on the insurance to approve of the transplant, and then we will be proceeding to the testing. The Phoenix, AZ location is the Mayo we are receiving care at. They said his score will be high enough that he will be competitive enough for a deceased donor, which they would ultimately prefer rather than a living donor.
Thank you so much for your support.
