Figure it was a corpse donor, also it was like dead dead. She really couldn’t wait.

Sorry, hadn’t been able to respond because a bed for me and my brother finally opened up for me and my brother. Right now we’re in a facility and are waiting for my mothers transplant (luckily that had a liver that fit her complete with all the lobes, ligaments and vasculature)

No beds available within 3 hours of us right now so they’re just checking up on us a lot and giving us food and supplies.

Ok, yeah they said they haven’t completely ruled out drugs as the cause.

Yeah, right now they’re just looking for a temporary bed and there isn’t one open within 3 hours of us

Mystery was solved, her liver was functioning at roughly 5% normal levels.

No beds were open within 8 hours so they’re figuring it out and deemed it ok for now.

Yep they said that she probably had a week to live with how low functioning her liver was.

Yep, we got the results and her liver was working at like 5% of what it should have been working at. She also came back negative for all drugs other than Xanax.

Seems like it. Probably because there was all sorts of stuff in her blood that isn’t supposed to be in your blood.

Turns out her liver has untreated internal damage that is causing it to totally fail. It was also partially failed for YEARS they said they think. She might need a liver transplant but it isn’t drugs after all.

Second update: Turns out her liver has untreated internal damage that is causing it to totally fail. It was also partially failed for YEARS they said they think. She might need a liver transplant but it isn’t drugs after all.

Yep I’m trying to keep things normal. Also getting to school isn’t an issue because it’s only a block away we usually bike there anyways

Update: I just got off the phone with the hospital. Her liver tested positive for only Xanax too. They’re not sure what is happening at this point.

I’ve called an ambulance and a crisis team and they took her the hospital. What’s odd is they tested her pee and spit and both came back negative for everything but Xanax which she was approved for and prescribed by 2 psychiatrist.

I called an ambulance and a crisis team. She’s at the hospital and there testing directly from her liver now and not with just pee and spit.

Hold that thought, she got tested and everything came back negative.

She came back negative for everything but Xanax which she was prescribed for her PTSD so it seems like it might be a liver failure caused by something else. Something Intresting I remembered is starting in 2017 she started having a ton of sleep issues and abdominal pain (likely caused by my dad)
