A Christian thanks both God who enabled the surgeon with skill and technology and the surgeon who made the effort.

We are all God’s creatures and we live in His world.

we will pray for her 2016.
Think about the complexity of liver regeneration.The highly organized proliferation of hepatocytes (the liver cells, full of all sorts of complex biochemical functions), arteries, veins, bile ducts, all contained within a regenerated liver capsule. Done in two months!
It’s like regenerating an obliterated city, streets, wires, sewers, raingutters, houses full of families, buses and cars, airports and airplanes, cops, hospitals, etc., all in just the right places.
Nah, that’s not God, not Intelligent design. It’s just evolution.

The cancer was so wrapped around her portal vein that no doctor would touch it. She kept looking and found a surgeon at Johns Hopkins who thought he could save her. He removed over 3/4 of her liver – well over the “allowable” limit, and somehow she managed to survive. Within two months, her liver had regenerated to its normal size and today she is still cancer free. I hate it when, after a skilled surgeon saves a patient against all odds, the family says “Thank God!”. In this case it’s hard not to, though.

Death of a donor made news in Boston two years ago.

Five year survival after receiving liver transplant is about 80%.

All daunting.

I wish them well.
