The day was fairly lazy and nice. Spent the morning with Michael then a nice mid-day nap before Hilary and Nahum came by. Hilary got to shovel lots of snow this morning as we got 3"-4" in the night. (B-burg got ~15" so there wouldn't have been any shoveling there, just some holing up for the weekend if we were home.) During Shayna's naps Hilary, Nahum and I play Triominos. Shayna smiled at 2 new people & is now playing in bed in her custom onesie.
I had to post a liver pic because it was just so amazing. If you stand, the side facing up in the picture would be facing the floor in your body. The gray one is a normal, drained 1-yr-olds liver. The green one is Shayna's. It weighed over 1/2kg, more than twice the normal weight and really was rock hard. To orient correctly, one of the livers needs to be rotated 180deg. There's also some depth missing from each as slices have been taken from them. The will be more on the website with a password soon.
Awww! Absolutely love that Shayna is wearing her onesie :) Holy cow, that is an ugly liver in that last pic ... thank goodness it is finally out of her. Fascinating to see. Thanks for sharing. Blacksburg is a winter wonderland. Spent the day cozied up at home. Will try to post a pic or video or two of FB so you can see what you missed. Pretty incredible for these parts, from what I understand (probably not too shocking for a Coloradan, though!). Big hugs from the 'Burg Xox Jenny et al.
ReplyDeleteWow, that liver picture is insane! Hard to believe that was in your princess!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the updates, Patricia. You are all amazing!
My comment is on the first pic, of your Dad holding Shayna. You can really tell in this pic just what a warm, caring man he is. -kari
ReplyDeleteWow! You guys are going through an increadible experience. The liver left me speechless. I am so happy all of you are doing so well. Shayna looks so great it is hard to believe she just recently had a liver transplant. You rock!
