Weston had his HIDA scan today; and much like everything else done up to this point, offered no answers.
The test basically involves injecting a dye that acts like bile in order to trace the pathway from the liver to the small intestine.
As of 3pm, there was no evidence of the dye outside of the liver.
Tomorrow morning he has to go back for a quick look to see if any of the dye has made it out and to have more blood drawn.
He is having a liver biopsy Wednesday, which involves anesthesia and an overnight hospital stay.
We are tired of seeing our baby repeatedly poked and prodded, and not getting any answers. This biopsy may not even be the missing piece to the diagnosis. There is a pretty decent chance that he will need a small surgery next week for better visualization and imaging of the liver and gallbladder.
This is taking its toll on everyone. Billy and I couldn't believe it has only been 10 days since this all started. Seems more like months.
