I usually don't ask for this kind of stuff, but I figure at this point it can't hurt.
My brother had a liver and kidney transplant 20 years ago (he is now 26). He has recently been having some complications - we thought it may be just a fluke, his liver function labs went up and he was starting to look a little jaundice. Weeks of lab results, biopsies and ultrasounds showed nothing definitive so he was admitted to have a procedure done to insert a drainage tube (to drain the bile and alleviate the jaundice). This was done on Monday. His levels are still on the rise, he is looking more jaundice, and now he has an infection that they can't seem to find the source of.
He is currently admitted at U of M hospital in Ann Arbor, but things don't seem to be getting any better, if anything they are getting worse...
I am not one to get worked up, or worry unneccessarily, but this just doesn't feel right.
Any positive thoughts or prayers would be much appreciated by both myself and my family.
