Tuesday Mid-day update

Ashlie is hanging in there this morning.  Her kidney function has improved slightly which is great, and the focus is to get her to eat a little bit more today and to keep up and moving so that she will be in as good of physical shape as she can be for the transplant.  They saw several different doctors this morning, and they all gave encouraging information.  She will definitely stay in the hospital until the transplant unless she improves dramatically which no one is expecting.  There is a definite possibility of a transplant in the next two weeks.  Her blood type is O+ which makes it a little bit harder to find a donor liver because she can only take an O+ donor liver, but the doctors still think that it will be soon because if where she is on the list.  At this point, we will just be waiting on the transplant while trying to keep her kidneys in as good of shape as possible, her physical strength up, and her spirits high!  Keep the prayers coming especially for her kidneys to hold their own or continue to improve and for the details, timing, and people involved in the upcoming transplant.
