I agree too. Get her mad and she'll fight. That's exactly what she needs, to fight what her body is doing, to live!

I have felt her love and her WRAITH (Only when I teased her though)... both are powerful. She does have a powerful constitution when she wants to use it... :)

Alty · Jun 13, 2009, 08:36 AM

She certainly does.

So you're saying I should tic her off the next time she calls? ;)

Well we all know that she is tough I am still pulling for her either way she is a great person that I will never forget.

Alty · Jun 13, 2009, 11:03 AM

I am too Niley. Where there's a will there's a way, she definitely has the will.

I hope she'll call back soon but this could have just been a clear day that won't last. Either way I got to talk to her and for me, really, that means more then I can say. I didn't think I'd get the chance again.

Just to hear her voice was a miracle, one I'll cherish no matter how this turns out.

I'm still hoping, praying, waiting for that miracle. I believe more now then I ever have just because of that phone call.

I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, that's why I'm telling all of you that the doctors have not changed their prognosis, but... but. :)

I am fine thanks;)
I am hoping for the best also...
Alty, I get it, I understand that there is not much chance, but as it stands right now, she is beating some of the odds, so there is hope, and that's a fact! :)

It is Starty.

I just don't want to get everyone's hopes up only to squish them later, if that happens.

I am hopeful, how can I not be, she sounded so good on the phone, so strong, so determined, so pi$$ed off! ;)

I hope she finds a way to call more often. I also hope that she remains clear headed and gets better, fights this, finds a way to survive.

She told me "I'm doing all I can, really I am" so that's good. I just hope, hope, hope. :)

Alty this is such amazing news! I am so happy for you that you were able to talk to her. I was thinking about this thread the other day thinking I hadn't heard anything and then I was getting worried for the worse that I missed something. But thank god I didn't. I wish again I could have gotten to know her. But keep in mind, doctors have been wrong before. If they don't want to change there prognosis we will change it for them! Keep praying everyone!

Hey Stringer off and on when am thinking about this woman I wish I could have met I think of my mother in law. She passed away with a failing liver, but nothing to do with drinking. I heard at that time all you need is a half a liver because its an organ that can regenerate itself. Is this true? If it is I don't understand why she can't be helped. A half a liver isn't so much to ask for.

You know sweet, I have heard that too... hmmm? J-9 could probably answer that question for us... good question girl... :)

Well it rips my heart out. Over and over and over I told my in-laws lets get done what we need to do to see if any of us can help her. If I could have gave that woman half my liver to live I would have in an instant. I loved her more then my own mother. No one else in the family seems interested in pursuing that option. Honest to god I fear pain and needles and whatever else it would involve. But if I had to do it for Starby I would. I see the support and love we would both get from you all and then we could have her back. I hear her and I share the love of flowers and gardening.

88sunflower · Jun 15, 2009, 01:34 PM

Good night Stringer I am headed home now. Maybe this can be an option we can check in to. Why not? If its possible that is.
Talk to you in the morning.

Hi sunflower, yes the liver can regenerate itself but only with human intervention and we aren't quite there yet. Our livers are the largest organs in our bodies and it seems odd, sometimes that something that big (as big as a football) is so susceptible to injury, disease, alcohol, but that is what we are to live with. Sorry I can't say, well gee it can and why not, but not the case my dear.

J_9 · Jun 15, 2009, 03:04 PM

Actually, the skin is the largest organ in our bodies. But when our liver becomes toxic, or has diseases such as cirrohsis, there is no repairing it. If caught early, the progression can be slowed, but never completely stopped or reversed.
