In one report I scanned, today, it said the new liver can take up to six months to actually get the protein levels etc. up to par. Not sure what that means as to actually being up and about, though.

THIS SITE has a lot of FAQS about liver transplantation and says to expect about four weeks in hospital.

These next few days are crucial...all of the energy we can gather is of utmost importance for Barry. For those who use visualisation, I would suggest an aura of pink and healthy light emanating in his body and coursing through all of his veins, arteries, and most esp. his new liver.

I posted this once before, but it seems appropriate to do so, again:

The following prayer from Silent Unity was taken to the moon and back by one of the astronauts. I use it for myself and others, by replacing "me" with their name, and I usually use a different name for the higher power, such as "great spirit"; god of my heart; the cosmic:

Prayer of Protection

The Light of (God) surrounds (me);
The Love of (God) enfolds (me);
The power of (God) protects (me);
The presence of (God) watches over (me).
Wherever I am, God is!

I'd say, with the wonderful community we have here, we could also say the Light of Mudcat surrounds, etc.:-)
