It's Time!!

Since my MELD score has gone up to 21, my doctor has decided to send me to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida on April 27, 2010 to begin the testing process for a new liver. http://www.mayoclinic.org/liver-transplant/ It is my intention to keep all of you up-to-date with this blog by posting regularly the results of my tests, appointments, and daily happenings. So...onward!! Charlie Brown says, "In the book of life, the answers aren't in the back." Perhaps not a great philosopher, he was a boy with endless determination and hope. So with great determination, I take on this detour in life. Thanks to everyone for your support, prayers, and good thoughts. I will need even more of all of these in the coming months.

I hear new livers improve wake boarding skills....It's worth a try! Can't wait to see you back on the lake. Add another 10,000 prayers to the pile and get home soon. Love, The Inkrott's

Dear Mom and Dad,

The Ceccarelli's are being really nice to me. They take me for a walk almost every night, and they are feeding me probably more than Uncle Mark thinks I should have. I sleep on Homer's bed and hang out with him all day long. It is really fun. But I miss you lots. Oh, and by the way - I have become a diehard Angel fan. See your email for proof.
Love,
Molly
