My 3-year old grand daughter Cassandra has made a remarkable recovery since her liver transplant. She was released from the hospital after two more rounds of requisite chemo (post-transplant) and has bounced back far quicker than anyone expected. She is scheduled to have her trach removed in April, her stomach-peg pulled shortly and is already enrolled for a pre-K program in the fall.
It's hard to get my head around after all the turmoil, worry and grave medical reports of the past year. But the Warrior Princess is back on her feet and will enjoy her 4th birthday in late May.
My husband also was given very good news. More turmoil and worry. However, his liver carcinoma was spotted early, removed in late October. Took about two + months to get back on his feet but the followup with the surgeon and oncologist indicated no need for additional therapy (chemo). He was grateful for that. He'll require additional 3-6 month monitoring to keep an eye on the liver. The second worrisome spot has had no growth and his blood results are normal. The surgeon is thinking that is most likely a cyst; it's buried deep in the tissue and bc of his liver damage they decided to leave it.
Thus far, 2024 has treated us well on the medical front. Quite a journey though!
