Download or read book Journey of a Liver Transplant Recipient written by Christine Jowett. This book was released on 2015-07-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a reality that someone in Canada dies every three days waiting for an organ transplant; for some patients, they are lying in their hospital beds, waiting to be given a second chance at life. Some are fortunate to receive that organ or gift of life, yet for many, they don't survive because the organ they require is either not available or doesn't get there in time. Christine Jowett was only thirteen years old when she became jaundiced, fatigued, and endured bouts of right abdominal pain. Having lived with autoimmune hepatitis for twenty-six years, Christine's disease finally took its toll on her and she ended up in St. Mary's Hospital, where she works as a cardiology nurse. In order to save her life, she was then sent to Toronto General Hospital to wait for a liver transplant, yet, her situation continued to deteriorate as her kidneys were shutting down. Now at forty-one years old, a mother and a wife, it still remains a mystery as to why Christine developed chronic autoimmune hepatitis, a disease that for so long through her life she was able to manage with few medications. Life Goes On is a moving story of her life, which tells of her sickness, facing up to the possibility of losing her family, and the struggle to regain the normality of life after her operation. After the tragic death of an anonymous hero, Christine is given the ultimate gift of life, a healthy organ, on one very special day.

Book excerpt: This book details Fatimas journey as a two-time liver transplant recipient. The book is also about how her health struggles affected her personally and how the youth who have grown up with chronic illnesses can have normal yet special lives and how their families cope and become their strength. She also writes about how families from very different ethnic backgrounds come close together and form a strong bond in the pain of their children and their common challenges. She discussed the medical mistakes, which become life-changing for so many, and how there should be more acknowledgment of them rather than putting a lid on them. Finally, Fatima talks about how she came to spread awareness about organ donation; shares her story through social media, media, and public speaking; and how she came to be a part of a community of transplant patients, donor families, and those with chronic illness who united together through diversity and helped each other during their struggles. This book details how her life changed after her second liver transplant and the medical mistakes that Fatima endured.

Download or read book Offer of Protection written by Narrad Beharry. This book was released on 2008-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story is based on Aryan Beharry, who at nine months of age had to undergo a liver transplant due to biliary artesia, a condition caused by the narrowing and restriction of the bile ducts which are necessary to drain bile from the liver, preventing toxifciation. The story covers his birth and parental care with the daunting circumstances during his early years leading up to the present. It also goes into the actual interactions with his physicians from the time of the liver transplant through stages of triumphs, problems and accomplishments. The documented steps are also meant as an inspiration to other parents or adults in similar situations and it shows the possible scenarios that could be followed to deal with such a circumstance. Last but certainly noteworthy, it gives an idea of the type of sacrifices that one must endure to overcome adversities with a life-threatening medical problem.
