We just met the family whoes daughter received the other half of the liver that Clarie got. What a sweet connection we will have with that family. Both our daughters, her's 2 1/2 and Claire just over 2, will always have something in common. Their little girl has been waiting for a liver for over a year now and her health was declining. How happy we are that the liver was able to used for both our princesses!!
The surgery is over. They were closing up her tummy about an hour ago and she'll be in the recovery room for about an hour....so hopefully we'll see her soon! As far as we've heard, everything went well. What joy and peace we feel. There will still be bumps on the road to recovery but at least the big surgery is over!!
