Okay, it's official. Isabella has been approved as a candidate for a liver transplant by the doctors at Pittsburgh Children's Hospital. I am not sure if she will be officially on the transplant list tomorrow, or if we have to wait for the results of next Monday's blood test to come back (one of her tests was a bit funky, but apparently it is one with a lot of false positives, and she has tested negative in the past).

This is a kind of bittersweet day. We are obviously happy that Bella is a candidate, as we know in our hearts that this is what she needs, but it is the first step on what I am sure is a very long and winding road. We are confident that Bella is in the most capable hands possible, and we know that we are supported on all fronts by our family and friends.
