Feel so helpless, my friend is waiting for an emergency liver transplant

[GColdtimer]

I don't really know why I am posting, just not too sure what to do with myself. My best friend's husband has acute liver failure, they do not know the cause (its probably viral) and yesterday he went on the emergency liver transplant list.This is all happened over the last 2 weeks and it is such a shock. Between her friends and family we are making sure she is not alone. I am just hoping and praying for a doner. Then I feel so bad because for that to happen, it means that someone else will die and someone else's friends and family will be going through hell. It is just so bloody awful.

Has anyone else been through this?

i liek to move it, you can email me as well

So sorry moveit, I didn't realise your experience was not professional.

No problem twofalls.

Please, please, please don't let my experience worry you. DS's problems were complicated. Your friend has world class doctors and surgeons there.

Am thinking of your friend and sending positive vibes his way.

Strangely enough, a lady I know is doing a living related liver donation for her daughter at Kings tomorrow.

any news overnight twofalls?

Thank you so much moveit, and I am very sorry that you have been through such a difficult time. I will be thinking of your friend, who knows I may be sitting next to her family in the waiting room, small world eh?

LV, no news overnight. I am off in a little while to go and stay with my friend tonight and tomorrow and hopefully I will be able to come on when I get back and have some news.

I hope things are going well with Peter.

Thank you both so much for your support.

LV and moveit, I wanted to just pop on and tell you that sadly my friend's husband, well my friend really because he was, died yesterday afternoon. There were some complications and he died after surgery (not transplant). Myself and another friend were with her.

I thought you might like to know. Logging off now to spend the evening with my DH. I feel so, very sad and helpless.

oh two falls, i am so so sorry {{{{{{hugs}}}}}

i blogged about your OP, i will remove it if you want. www.waitingforthecall.blogspot.com

So sorry to hear about your friend twofalls.

Thanks so much. And no need to remove your blog posting misdee unless you want to. It looks like by the time he went on to the urgent list it was already too late for him.

He was so lovely and so good, he didn't deserve to die like that. I just don't know what my friend is going to do. My DH said that he couldn't imagine a world without him in it. I am so exhausted I am going to bed now. Will hopefully sleep to find some escape from the events of the last 36 hours.

if its ok with you, can i do a brief follow up. as someone was asking about your friend on the 1st post.

i'm so sorry it ended like this. really i am. it must be very hard to deal with, and i will think of you and your friends family in my prayers over the coming weeks.

So sorry to hear this, twofalls. Very sad

Thinking of you and your friend

Of course misdee, no problem. You are right, it is so hard to deal with, it was so sudden and such a shock. And the experience of seeing my friend go through losing her partner on Thursday will stay with me for the rest of my life I think. I just want to do all I can to help her get through this. We have a very long and difficult road ahead of us I know. They didn't have children although they would have liked them I know. At this point I don't know whether that is a good or a bad thing. His sister and her children are spending the weekend with her and we are giving them some space to be together.

Thanks for your support, it means a lot.

Oh Twofalls, I have only just seen your post from friday. Im so so so sorry it all had to end like this for you all.

It seems such a bloody pointless waste.

Thank you moveit, yes it does seem like such a bloody pointless waste. I feel so badly for my best friend, his family, his friends, my dh, my little girl, his colleagues, me. Everyone is devastated and just cannot believe it, he was such a lovely, lovely person.
