Even if he survives, he will never be healthy. He has so badly damaged himself since the transplant that he has been hanging on by a thread...and it’s fraying.
He was in ICU for 6 weeks from Thanksgiving past Christmas for kidney failure and other acute complications and when they released him to go to rehab care...he refused and went back to his apartment. Two weeks later and here we are.
If he doesn’t die this time, it will only be a matter of weeks before the next thing comes knocking.
We spent 4 years of our life supporting him financially and emotionally to get to the transplant and he has done nothing but wreck himself since. He is beyond all hope of ever being a reformed and thankful person who wants to enjoy the gift he was given.
The worst part is thinking about those that may have died hoping and praying for the liver he got.
