Question Answer

Robin,

So sorry you feel as though I have neglected to answer your question. I assure it is not intentional. I thought it was clear that Ashley's hepatic line had been switched out. That is what our trip to Nebraska at the end of December was for. While there the surgeon removed Ashley's hepatic line (that was in her liver) and placed a central line up above her diaphragm. This will make transplant possible. She will require a new liver as well as small bowel when she is re-transplanted.

The new line above her diaphragm was infected upon placement with staph and that is what we have been battling since December 28th. You are welcome to go back and read all about the placement starting on that date. I hope this was helpful. Thank you for following along her journey. Have a blessed day.
