I just found this thread & will be praying for your cousins recovery. My DH had a liver transplant back in 2002. Just be aware that these fevers are pretty common the first year or two. They didn't tell us at the time and we were surprised. It seemed we were forever running back down to the hospital, 2hr dirve, every few weeks or so because of a bad fever DH would get. Always, it seemed, in the middle of the night and half the time during a holiday or weekend. Prayers for his wife to stay strong amidst being not only his wife but an intregral part of his recovery.
