We got to see Dad this morning a little after 9:00. They had just finished an ultrasound. He is doing well. His color is good and he looks comfortable (except for all of the tubes). The liver surgeon that did the transplant was there when Mom and Bill went in. He said that the old liver was VERY bad. He said that they were going to keep Dad asleep for most of today. He is still on the ventilator which is normal after this surgery. He will stay on it until his blood gases let them know it is time to remove it - maybe late today. The normal process is to be in ICU for 3-4 days and then be moved to the transplant floor for 2-3 weeks.
It is a dreary day here in Cleveland. We are just going to be hanging out in the Family Lounge today.
