Stuart Silverman Stu’s Sojourn

We are using Caringbridge it to keep family and friends updated in one place.
We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement.
On 11/20/18 Stu fell and broke his ribs. When he went to seek medical attention it was discovered that his belly was filled with fluid. This was very sudden and we wondered why. Not long after the fluid was drained we learned that he has liver disease.
In May 2019 he began the evaluation for liver transplant. He has gone to MUSC in Charleston, SC and Duke University in Durham, NC.
We got the call on December 10, 2019 that MUSC has listed him for transplant.

Stu’s liver transplant took place on 12/31/2019. Life has not been simple since then. There were many complications along the road to recovery. Once he began to finally get well his kidneys decided to start failing.

Sometime last year he gained a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease. As of 10/23/23 he went to MUSC and was evaluated for kidney transplant listing. If there is anyone willing to be evaluated to be his live kidney donor you can reach out to one of us or see his post on here for the link to fill out the form.

Thank you for taking interest in our journey and we will be forever grateful for any type of support you can offer.
