Just a thank you to our family and friends
Since starting the blog, my intentions were to write everyday, but its easy said than done, I just wanted to thank people that we have met along our journey. Paul met a lovely gentleman called Bill from Scarborough, what an inspiration he has been to us, especially to Paul, He's been through the horrid disease, had setbacks when hes had the call and finally has had his transplant. He rings Paul every other day and it's lovely because he can actually understand what Paul's going through. Our kids have been fantastic and I don't think I could of coped without them, when we got the call a couple of days ago. Mebs my brother has been a rock, emotionally and financially, can't thank him enough.My cousin Taz has always been there for us, Paul's boss Gary and Michele are lovely people they have been very supportive, My boss Gudrun has been supportive along with all my friends at work too. Cath our Dr's secretary has been a great support, salt of the earth. All our friends and family that I haven't mentioned,a big thank you to all of you as well, Just going to mention Mick and Maz, poor Mick is in Leeds going through a liver transplant assessment, stay strong both of you.

An Emotional Night
27th July 2011
A day I will never forget, it started off positive, my baby neice was born today, it was nice to celebrate such happy news. Paul and I had our tea around five, we then had Mikey our son and his girlfriend Aimee visit us and we were all in high spirits. We offered them a lift home, as we were leaving Paul asked if I had my fone, which I did, as we got to Mikey's house my fone was ringing , I didn't realise the number and when I answered ,I knew straight away, the nurse asked for Paul, It was a strange, emotional and heartfelt feeling, we both burst into tears, the nurse was lovely and told us it was tentative that the transplant would go ahead, but to make our way to the Leeds. We got home and contacted our nearest and dearest, It was very emotional, we have been waiting for the call, but nothing can prepare you, mixed feelings spin around. I actually said a pray for the donor family, my heart goes out to them. Cameron, Mikey and Chantelle came to the hospital with us, this was a very personal and emotional journey, We arrived at the hospital and waited in the television room. A short while later a doctor came to see us, He apologised to us and said that the transplant wouldn't go ahead as the donor 's liver wasn't suitable. I felt relieved and saddened at the same time, The past couple of hours were a roller coaster,we were told that this can happen when we had the liver assessment. It's another journey we have had with this horrible disease. we're going to stay optimistic. My heart goes out to the donors family, people like them make a huge difference to people like Paul.
