Prayers for Crossroads/Karen?
Hey there, Crossroads/Karen a long time member here got the call early this morning for her liver transplant. She is in the hospital now, the surgery will take place any time today. I posted this on the cirrhosis forum, then thought that I should post it here too.
Not everyone from the HCV forum is on the Cirrhosis forum. Karen is a loving, giving, caring woman who helped many of us through the awful Incivek tx, Then she was x with cancer, she has been fighting that while she waits for her transplant. (I am hoping no one will mind me asking for prayers for her)
I know she would appreciate your prayers as she would gladly pray for you. I am posting her information in case anyone might want to send her a note or message. Understandably she is very afraid.

Oh Pooh!!! Thank you so much for posting. I know that Karen will appreciate so very much.
She did go through hell when we all did back during the rash of Incivek, Victrellis gang.
Gosh, she didn't even know she had HCV until her liver started to fail. I remember when she started vomiting blood and had to have 5 bandings done.
She is a true inspiration to me and others in the community.
Thanks so much!
Patra, thank you!!! Bless you for your prayers. I truly believe that all of the prayers from here and from Karen's blog and FB really helped her so much.
Bless all of you, you are family!!

I am sorry I am so late to comment but I somehow missed this post.
Dee, thanks so much for posting about Karen's surgery and for keeping us updated on her progress.
Karen is the sweetest, yet most resilient, person. She is a real fighter. She went through hell on triple med treatment, almost died a couple of times with the esophageal varices bleeds, but she stuck with treatment and attained SVR. She is an inspiration to all of us.
I am sending her my best wishes for a rapid recovery from surgery and a long and happy life.

Great surgeons and staff and all those prayers, how could she not?
Karen: You go, Girl! We have a friend who had a liver transplant 20 years ago, back before they knew what they know now, and he is doing well, active, sings in a group (yes, he could sing before the surgery - lol) and all. Just wanting you to see that there will be a full life AFTER transplant - even though he takes meds daily!
Continued prayers and blessings?

Hi there, thank you all so much! Like Carl said, we are family and it shows.
Karen is doing well. Still in a pain but getting better, it has only been a little over two weeks. She was in the OR from 8 to 3 so it was a long surgery.
Some people are still in the hospital at this point. She was released on the 6th day after surgery. She is doing well.
Thank you all so much
