On February 2, 2010, Sharon was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis. After weeks of treatment, there was no improvement and the words "liver transplant" became part of the discussions. The unthinkable became our reality and a liver transplant was the only option. We wondered, even questioned what God's plan was in this, but our prayer was that no matter the outcome, it would be ALL for God's glory.

The purpose of this blog is to record the journey...to recount God's faithfulness through trial and pain. A cry for mercy and healing for Sharon. A place where friends and family can come to get updates and specific prayer requests. Please feel free to comment and encourage our hearts.

Psalm 121:4

Through the early morning hours of Monday, doctors were gravely concerned that internal bleeding was not stopping. Doctors were contemplating taking Sharon back to surgery to attempt to stop the bleeding, when suddenly the blood began to clot. The doctors told Lou the next morning how close they were to loosing Sharon the night before. The presence of the Lord was obvious. God continued to show mercy to Sharon and our family.

Later that same day, the liver began to show some function. It was slowly producing bile and urine. Doctors reassured us that sometimes a transplanted liver can be slow to begin functioning. As the day went on, the liver began to fully function and doctors hoped to finish the second part of the surgery on Tuesday.
