Hi everyone,

We wanted to share a little update after today’s important meeting about getting Liv ready—physically and emotionally—for her upcoming kidney transplant.

We had a thorough consultation with her physiotherapist and other wonderful professionals, and together we’re beginning to shape a care plan that will help Liv build strength and mobility. One exciting (and a little emotional) moment was seeing the walking aid—pictured here—which will help Liv learn to walk. It’s going to be a long and demanding journey, especially for her, but we’re so hopeful. Every little step will be a huge victory.

The meeting also gave us hope for getting more organized support at home. After nearly four years of round-the-clock care, we’re working toward finally having some in-home help so that we—as her parents—can catch our breath and maybe, just maybe, do a few everyday things that most people take for granted. It’s strange how something so small can feel so big.

And tomorrow marks the start of the conservatory build—Liv’s future training space right here at home. This will be a safe and protected place for her therapy, where she can practice using her walking aid and receive visits from her care team, all while staying shielded from infections she’s still very vulnerable to, especially leading up to and long after her transplant.

None of this would be happening without all of you—your support, kindness, and donations have helped us move mountains. We’re endlessly humbled and grateful.

Thank you for being part of Liv’s journey.
With love,

Liv, Vitalia & Lasse
