@contentandwell from what I understand they have changed how they do the points now. My husband's brother had a liver transplant 31/2 years ago and they scoring was different. Now they give you 21 six months after being put on the transplant list. He will get bumped to 30 in May. Being activated does mean that you can get called, but I have no clue how high we are on the list. It could still be several months. They wouldn't say where we were when I asked earlier. As I'm sure you know, there are a lot of variables that go into the list, so it changes constantly!

@jodeej I didn't realize they had changed how they do the points. It seems to me that there are still many people with fluctuating MELDs who are not yet up close to transplant.
He will go from 21 to 30? That will certainly put him close to transplant I assume, depending on where you are.
