Dashiell is resting, with a new liver inside his belly. Much work remains in the coming days and weeks... more surgeries and procedures, not to mention countless tests and screenings.
He has already been extubated, to the surprise of the MDs who tell us most children his age remain intubated for days after this sort of procedure. Him? Four hours after closing.
He wants to "get out of this room" and "eat some food". Fat chance, but good thinking.
He is more courageous than any child I have ever known, and is a fighter. I advised the anesthesiologist to prepare multiple doses of sedative for pre-op, which they declined, and naturally, he fought the nurses and required... multiple doses. Good boy!
Thank you for your kind words and blessings... they apparently carry some weight.
More details later. I am going to pass out now.

I want to thank someone important - Unknown Deceased Adult Organ Donor - I hope for blessings of peace and love for you and your family in this brave decision you made. This was not in vain!
I've allowed organ donation for years for just such a reason

as this. But, the little check on the license might not be good enough, you must tell your next of kin and it is best to include in DNRs and Medical power of attorney.

I'll pray for the other family as well. In a few days I'll be getting my driver's license renewed, the donor section will be dutifully filled out. It is a little thing to do after all, when you're done with 'em there's no need to take 'em to the grave. It's much better to pass on the gift of life if possible.
Prayers continue for all y'all, Brian.

You're not the only one my friend. I have wished several times that tears alone could cure Dashille.
Prays to continue.
