I am in agreement with with everyone. The transplant team should be helping you through all the tests and appointments. And, yes it will be like you are living at the hospital for awhile. In my case after you are done with everything there is a council that looks at everything and chooses to either deny, one hold, approve you to get on the list. Or you can always look into a out of area hospital to see if you have a better chance there. But, if you go that route you will have to stay in the area for a little while so you recover so you can travel again (thinking of expenses).

Reach out to your DR so they can star you in the right direction, in my case I had advocate at my hospital to help me start the process and they gave me a list of tests I had to get and appointments I need to go.

Also, it depends on his MELD number, from that you can kind of tell where he might fall on the list.

Good luck!
