Story
Lucas was born on 2nd Jan 2022.
Healthy at birth, after 2 weeks we took him to our GP.
Our Gp referred us to our local Hospital who confirmed Lucas would need further testing in a specialist Hospital.
Lucas was admitted to Hospital, the Hospital confirmed he had a rare liver condition called Biliary Atresia and would require surgery as soon as possible.
Lucas underwent Surgery known as the Kasai Procedure on 2.2.22.
The Kasai procedure is usually the first treatment for biliary atresia. The Kasai procedure does not cure biliary atresia.
However, if the procedure is successful, it may slow liver damage and delay or prevent complications and the need for a liver transplant.
The earlier the procedure is done, the more effective it may be.
Unfortunately Lucas had several admissions to Hospital and has been treated for sepsis 6+ times.
Recently Lucas was treated in our Local hospital with Sepsis and was Blue Lighted across to the specialists in Leeds who treated him and advised he would need to undergo a Liver Transplant.
We were told the List for awaiting to receive a Liver Transplant is the longest it has been in years and advised that Living Donation is a route we could look to take.
Josh Lucases Dad opted to have tests to see if he was a potential match for Lucas. (Being a match can actually be quite difficult as certain criterias are to be met)
After Josh having tests luckily he passed every round and we found out he was a match for our son Lucas.
On 27th June 2023 both Josh and Lucas underwent surgery. The surgeons were able to replace Lucases Liver with a peice of Joshes Liver which will now grow with Lucas.
Lucas and Josh will now need to attend regular hospital appointments and take regular medication.
There is no promise that the transplant has been fully effective as of yet thats why they need to keep going for weekly bloods and scans.
