The Diagnosis
Today we learned that our little guy has Biliary Atresia. His liver is very sick and he will need a liver transplant. I am O+ blood type which makes me a possible live liver donor for our little guy. I have also had 4 family members who are also matches volunteer to donate. There are many things you have to go through to become a donor - I am overwhelmed by their selflessness.
My heart has broken a million times today and been put back together by my brave son. Brodie is a fighter, he is strong and he is going to win this battle. Knowing we have a network of people (all of you) has been amazing.
The survival rate of infants out of surgery who have had liver transplants is at 95% and 86% survival after that. They then go on to have 100% normal lives.
Please continue praying this was the first step of a long, hard journey. I will be making a website with more information and to share our story and provide updates. we need all the support we can get - Our little guy is amazing and the rest of his body is really healthy. #brodiesgoodvibetribe
