Hello everyone,
The good news is my liver is doing just fine! My #'s are back to normal, so the doctors are happy about that but, due to the holiday tomorrow they are going to wait and do the colonoscapy test on Wed. I am not looking forward to that at all! :( YICKS! but they said I'll be put out for it so..that's good. So, here we are just waiting. Trying to keep our heads up and feel better. Its been a rough day, but I've got my Jesus and the love of my life Brian to keep my spirits up. Thank you for the many prayers that have already gone up on behafe of our family. Keep praying for me please. :) I love you all. Your all like family to me.
Love Bethani Roam

Hosptial Again
My dear friends,
Well here I am once again in my second home. j/k I've been here so many times that it feels like it. I was admitted into the ER here at UCSF last night late because of severe lower abdominal problems, nausea and throwing up. My liver #'s we in the 1oo's. Ouch! not good. But as of this morning my #'s seem to be a little better. The doctors seem to think that the high amounts of medications that I take may have caused some toxicity in my system causing all these problems so they are going to slowly lower my med's. I was also dehydrated. They plan on watching me closely to day and then running some tests starting tomorrow. Such as, CT scans, Liver Biopsy, upper oscopy and colonoscopy.. so I'm up for some interesting stuff. The nausea has lessened due to a medication they have been giving me. But as of yet they are still not sure what is up with me! so here I am just waiting trying to feel better. My spirits are up and I am trying to be optimistic. Once we find out anything that is more solid we will let you know. Please continue to pray for us though, its not easy being here again.
We love all of you

Much Better!!
Dear Friends,
Today is a great day. Thankfully I am much better. The doctors have let me go home and it feels so good to sleep in my own bed. I am at a point were I can hardly handle being in a hospital, even though they have been a HUGE! help to me :) The test results for my virus have not come back yet, but its looks to them as though I have beat what ever I contracted. So thankfully I'm back to my old self. Thank you so much for all your concern and prayers. Until next time.

We are fighters!
Dear Friends,
We have hit a little bump in the road. I have been admitted to UC Davis. It looks like I have some kind of infection. The doctors are still taking tests so we don't know any of the results. We will let all of you know as soon as we find out anything. Please be in prayer for me.....once again. God can do anything. We love all of you.

Three of a kind
This week I went to San Fran for a 20 yr anniversary celebrating successful liver transplants. I was nervous I wouldn't meet anyone my age that had gone through similar circumstances, but I was wrong, from the far left is Betsy 52, who had acute liver failure 17 yrs ago and survived 2 liver transplants. Mitch 2nd from the left is very special to me. His liver transplant was 3 months after mine. He had acute liver failure and is 25 yrs old! Both of them have a great outlook on life and we have become like family over night. We have something in common that is rare and that no ones else can quite relate to. The sweet lady in the red is Mary, she is the best nurse in the world! she helped keep all of us together while we went through our tough times. There needs to be more people in the world like her. I will be forever thankful that God brought her into my life. She is one of a kind. Going to San Fran was the best medacine! My spirits are lifted and I feel that if they can keep overcoming the obstacles before them ,than so can I. We are staying in contact and will be there for each other. I feel so happy to be able to share this wonderful experience with all of you dear friends. I love all of you so much.
Love
Bethani
