This is a Test . . . .


Dad is back home from his week-long transplant evaluation. This is the building where he spent most of his week at the Cleveland Clinic. They tested lungs, heart, kidneys, blood . . . .basically everything. We were all impressed with the staff. They are very thorough! We will not know for a couple of weeks if he will be listed on the liver transplant list. However, during the cardiac testing it was discovered one of the heart valves is worse than we previously thought. The recommendation of the doctor is that the valve be repaired before the transplant surgery. He suggested sometime in the next few weeks. We are waiting to hear from the Clinic when that will be. I will post more details as we know them.
