Thought Quotient

I just got an email this morning at work about a daughter (Amanda - she’s 18 yrs old) of a lady that I work with:

Carolyn’s daughter is in ICU. She has been diagnosed with Wilson’s disease. It is a rare liver disease. She is in desperate need of a liver transplant. Her kidney’s are shutting down and she has been put on dialysis. It is not looking good.

Keep this situation in your prayers.

Update:
Carolyn’s daughter went into surgery around 4:00 this morning for her liver transplant.

Update:
Amanda seems to be doing fine after the surgery, and her liver seems to be working, but she still has a long road ahead of her. They are hoping that her kidneys begin to function within 24 to 48 hours after the surgery (12:00pm yesterday). Carolyn would like to ask all of you to pray specifically for Amanda’s kidneys, lungs, and her blood, as these areas have not returned to normal since the surgery, which was to be expected.

Update:
…she is doing a little better. Her kidneys are showing signs of starting back up. She is having a little issue with her blood not wanting to clot. Her color has improved.

Update:
They removed Amanda’s breathing tube. She is awake and alert now. Her kidneys are not funtioning properly yet, however this may take quite a bit of time. The blood clotting issue is better now.
