Jamesduaiswamy: Glad you are doing well. I thought I was reading my Son's story. As a Mother and caregiver I understand what you said. My Son just got listed on wait list, his MELD Score is 34. This has been quite the journey for us. I would be interested in knowing your wait time and how you mentally handled the whole process.

Hi
Hope you are keeping up your hopes very high, which is a must in a situation such as yours.
When the MELD score is in the range of 34, one is already in the system to get a liver. It could happen anytime and depends on the matching profile of the donor or the source of the liver.
Also, it depends on the Hospital too. In my case the doctors were really keen in finding a liver and during my hospital stay, there were almost 20 patients were with me pre or post surgery. I had mine at The University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottsville VA. Just believe in your self. You will be just fine. I sincerely hope all will work out well. take care
