Mary Ann Eggleston is one of the lucky ones. Her medical background as a nurse gave her insight into the diagnosis she received back in 1987, but it did not prepare her for the major GI bleed that followed two years later. She remembers bargaining with God to let her see her sons grow up and thanks to a research drug study she is living with a fully functional liver, and those two boys are indeed all grown up. Having that privilege has given her the chance to give back by working with Faith Community Nurse Ministry and volunteering as a tutor for the Immigrant Refugee Women’s Program. Mary Ann is happy to have vigilant doctors at the SLU Liver Center who keep her calm about her disease. Life ahead for her will include traveling with her husband, Don, and living by these goals: have fun, enjoy life, and be kind to others.
