Help Andres Get A Life-Saving Liver Transplant

Hello,

I am happy to report that Andres has been moved out of ICU and into a regular hospital room on the tenth floor of Houston Methodist. His Liver is working and his new kidney is starting to work as well. He had another surgery on his sacrum that is pretty painful but being managed. He will require at least 2 more surgeries to remove the stents that were placed and hopefully one to reverse his ostomy. He will work with physical therapy to gain strength to be able to walk and care for himself again. He is fully coherent now and so thankful for all the love and support. Our prayers are being heard and answered.

Thank you all so much!

We are so happy and thankful to say that Andres has received a new liver and new kidney. He underwent 2 surgeries. One was 6hrs and the other was 11 hours long. He was also given a colostomy bag due to complications of the urinary track. It can be reversed later when it is healed. He was extubated and feeling much better. He will continue to receive dialysis daily until his new kidney is fully functional. They expect that he will stay in the liver ICU for 4-8 weeks before they can move him to a regular hospital room where they will continue to work with him to get him stronger everyday. We have been told that he will need to stay here in Houston for 6-9 months depending on his recovery.

We again are so thankful and blessed with your love, prayers and support. We ask for continued prayers for his recovery as well as prayers for the donor and their family.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. We can't express how grateful we are.

God Bless!
