Liver transplant - Let's support each other

On Tuesday 5/17/22 my husband got his cancer exception points bringing his MELD score to 26. At 3:05 am we got the call we had a liver. They told us to try to get to Mayo Clinic in Jax Fl by 6:30 am we got there at 6. We got the paperwork going and initial exam done. Then my husband had to take a Covid test and it came back virus detected. We were shocked for he had no symptoms and he had been boosted 5 months ago. We were scheduled to get our booster this weekend. Needless to say we didn’t get the liver. We were devastated. We had been so high then felt like we took a a nose dive. By the way I am negative.
Has this happened to anyone else?

@gingercorless, Please accept a virtual hug from me. I transplanted in 2009 and even though that was long before Covid19, I can understand your feelings. Has your husband been temporarily inactivated from the transplant list? That happened for me for a different reason- and it was a real disappointment that I remember very clearly. How long until you husband will be eligible to be retested and reactivated?
I hope he will remain symptom free (and you, too).
What have the doctors told you about what to expect after he gets a negative test?
