Bryan's Recovery - Live Liver Donor
Donation protected
It was a match! Bryan Lecy was a match to donate 60% of his liver to an old coworker and friend named John. The journey began over a year ago and on December 7, 2016 the transplant went smoothly as planned. The planned recovery time for Bryan was 5-6 weeks.
All thumbs up only lasted a short time. It wasn't long after Bryan was released from the hospital that he found himself back in with a Bile Duct Leak. One stent placed led to another stent placement on Christmas Eve. Again, Bryan thought he was back to recovery.
Bryan was admitted back into the Hospital this past Saturday. The complications this time were a continued Bile Duct Leak and an infection that had moved into his lungs. Bryan endured another 5 hour surgery today to place tubes to drain his lungs and liver. He rests in ICU this evening and we are hopeful that his fever will break tomorrow and the infection can be successfully managed.
In the meantime, Bryan's wife Jesse and boys Sean and Jack are eager to get their husband and dad healthy and home.
Due to the complications, if the care plan and recovery go as they should, the soonest Bryan could be back to work is the end of February or beginning of March. Bryan's Short Term Disability is about to run out. This was a selfless act of Bryan to be a Live Liver Donor and a brave act for Jesse and the boys to be on board with the decision.
We would like to ask for your prayers for Bryan and Jesse. If you are able to donate it would help this family focus on the recovery for Bryan during these next couple months.
Love, Healing, and Gratitude
