Now the Gall Bladder???

Looks like Jared may be having gall bladder surgery too. He would loose his gall bladder in the transplant surgery anyway, however it is causing him a lot of pain, so they are looking to remove it now. The risks are high especially because his platelets are low so his blood will not clot as it should. We are dealing with the insurance company because they don't want to pay the transplant surgeon to do a gall bladder removal, but we saw a trauma surgeon and he said he would not touch it because the risks are too high with him being a transplant candidate. He recommends a transplant surgeon do it. SO the transplant team and trauma surgeons are going to bat with the insurance company to try to get the procedure covered with the right surgeon. It has been an ordeal but hopefully they will be able to work it out soon so we can get it done and he can feel better while waiting for the transplant.
