How West is doing...

Fabuloso! Seriously, he is doing really well. Dr. Meyers and Dr. Sorenson finished his surgery this morning around 7 AM. We were able to see him at around 9:45 AM. The liver took and started creating bile. His skin already looked lighter. Dr. Meyers said his liver is "pretty and pink". It is a little big, so they did not sew up the muscle, but sewed the skin. Once the liver is out of the donor's body and in an icebox, it swells quite a bit. They will sew up the muscle in a few days after the liver shrinks back down.

He lost a lot of blood this morning, which is to be expected so they gave him some to compensate. Now it is evening time, and this... is the color of his eyes. NO JOKE :) We will try to get an actual picture, he is just very sedated with pain medication so he does not have his eyes open very much. But he looks so good and better every time we see him.
