Ljubo’s Medical fund

So we recieved one additional bill that was paid 1000sek from the fundings today.
Thank you all a million times!!

Ljubo is still at the hospital in Belgrade. His bilirubin is finally going down! Which is fantastic news.
He is waiting for results from a liver biopsy that will give more information about what is going on.
As soon as we know more we will ofc update here.

Thank you all that have been / are helping us. We cannot express the gratitude we feel towards you all

The Bills have now arrived and it was 30.000sek more than expected =(
We have talked to the hospital and made a paymentplan. Ljubo has to pay at least 100 Euros per month. Right now he has no income, but as soon as he gets well and hopefully get a job this will work out very well :)

I went to Belgrade to see Ljubo, he is now in hospital care and it is really hard to get a time to see him. Visitors hours is 14-16 but theres an ongoing epidemic so they are not allowing me in at all. Ive had around 10 minutes with him per day yesterday and today.
His bilirubin is now 470, and it shows on this picture :( They made an edoscopy today but it turns out the stone in the gall canal is to small to cause any trouble. Doctors will have a meeting tomorrow discussing what to do next, but it is looking like its going to be a long stay at the hospital.

This monday Ljubo went to finally see his own doctor, new bloodtest was taken and on tuesday they met up to see results. Alt and ast is stabilizing but his bilirubin is still getting higher, it was 370 at this point. The doctor decided that he needs to be treated in the hospital and he is now getting alot of meds, taking daily bloodtests and also had an MRI Scan. A bloodtest today showed that there is signs on an upcoming infection / inflammation. Doctor also said today that there might be stones in his bile ducts and they will talk to the surgeon. When operating his gallbladder they saw gallstones in the duct, but werent able to take the stones away. They said they kinda sewn them in so that they wouldn't cause any problems. So the reason his liver is acting up might be that there is still problems relating to the gallbladder he had. He might have to do an endoscopy, but we still dont know.
I will update when we know more about the situation!

One more bill is paid from his visit here in Sweden, it is for a bloodtest done when his liver went worse. We have also to thank blodkollen.se for really good service though they usually cant help foreigners but during to the circumstances they did <3

Ljubo went to the hospital again yesterday and got some new results from his bloodtests. The Bilirubin had increased to 200 but his ast and alt was lover, I cant remember the exact numbers but both around 20-25. We cant tell if this is good or bad though. Its Christmas time in serbia now and doctors are not working. His regular doctor that he visits for his liver is back to work on monday so lets pray that he will have time to help Ljubo!

As Ljubo in the beginning of his surgery recovered well and christmas is coming up, were having a hard time on the passing of one of our most beloved dogs Toya. We try to go along as normal, but the 21th December Ljubo starts to get itchy. He says it reminds him of how he was feeling when his liver was bad. The 22nd December we go to a clinic to get a bloodtest and he spends the rest of the evening in fever. On the 23rd we get the results saying bilirubin 68, alt 3.1 & ast 7.3. Which is not horrible but too much.

We were supposed to go to my dad to celebrate christmas that weekend, but had to cancel. I only went on a short visit the 23rd while Ljubo stayed at home. On Christmas eve his eyes are starting to turn yellow and the itch get worse. I book the upcoming flight from Malmö to Belgrade the coming Monday so he can go home as possible.

Hes gotten worse during the week, alot due to the flight trip. When he came home he had to fix with his national id card since it expired during his stay in Sweden. He needs a social security number to get to the hospital and a passport is not valid as identification(!) First he applied for id and finds out it takes 15 days. After that he needs to get a temporary Id to be able to get his social security number. This takes 3 days. Yesterday he was at the clinic at home and finally got a new bloodtest done. The results this time was far worse. Bilirubin 130, alt ca 130 and ast ca 130. He also got remitted to hospital for mri scan, more test and will see a doctor, but he have to wait until monday. No doctors are working during the weekend, only call in doctors and so he cant get treated yet.

Thank you to everyone helped us share and the ones who have donated. Today first Bill was Paid. Its still a long way to Go, but its a good beginning and we cant describe how thankfull we are to all of you. Love to you all!!!
