@cherismikes, You are a good mom-caregiver. Your daughter is fortunate to have you to look after her.

My taste came back right AFTER my transplant, so my situation is different than your daughter's situation. I am only speaking from my experience that I did eat after transplant, with some different food choices.

A voice mail is a good way to get message to/from nurse. What did the nurse say about your daughter's eating and the loss of taste? Are your daughter's labs showing that she is getting the needed nutrients?

Her potassium is a little high but then it will go low they said this will straighten out as she gets farther out from transplant. Her Magnesium a little low. But everything else is ok they adjusted one of her anti rejection by increasing it which made her bp go up for a couple days but it is back to normal her platelets have come up but hemoglobin is a little low. This is just so scary for me this was our athletic child that was a gymnast and cheer leader and always healthy eater. They say she is doing well she did have to go back into the hospital week before last she had fluid around her right lung from having acides before the liver transplant. I thought she was losing to much weight but that is the fluid still coming off. The not eating well is just so scary when she needs the nutrients to help
