BiblioTech™ “Jadyn’s Journey to Health - Life with a New Liver”

Summary

An interactive reading experience about the liver and its functions

Jadyn is a kid with lots of interests and talents. He loves soccer, Halloween, hanging out with his friends, and especially, playing the ukulele. But Jadyn can’t do all of the things he wants to, like go to summer camp, because of his liver. He has metabolic liver disease.

So when Jadyn learns he needs a liver transplant, he has lots of questions. What will surgery be like? Can I do all the things I want to after my transplant, like go to summer camp? Why do I need to take medication?

Help Jadyn become healthy and strong by learning everything he can during his journey from the hospital to recovery at home, and beyond. Interact with his transplant team of doctors, nurses, and specialists, who will answer all of Jadyn’s questions. Help Jadyn learn how to take good care of his new liver and understand why it’s important that he takes anti-rejection medication!
