Passing time

It's been a year and a half since Jared was officially put on the list. Passing time is hard and discouraging. I can't imagine what it is like for him. To be sick all the time, to never feel well, to have no energy and always be in pain. His face and arms and legs have become very thin too. His abdomen is always swollen from the ascites, which makes him very uncomfortable. His MELD score still hovers in the 16 or 17 range. He is still able to go to work which I am grateful for; I know it is hard for him. I know the time will come for him to get his transplant but waiting is hard.
