There is no avoiding death if liver shunt isn't taken care of. It may not be immediete, but it WILL happen eventually. and Melody will have a miserable, miserable life until that point.

She NEEDS help. I understand that she loves and doesn't want to give up her baby, but if she can't pay to save her life, THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION.
Megan, You are such a wise young lady, I wish they would listen. Its sad. I would like to know if Scintigraphy has been done? You cant just have a BAT test and say SHUNT. And you cant just make Phone Calls. Has the Doctor preformed Scintrgraphy?
