Pediatrician's Appointment

We met with Weston's pediatrician this morning. Honestly, we were not expecting much from this visit. So, I guess it wasn't too disappointing when we really didn't get any answers.

After discussing our hospital stay and some of the lab and procedure results that have returned, the pediatrician suspects a "plumbing problem". Something is not allowing the bile to drain from his liver properly. He actually gave us the ultrasound report; and it reported that it appeared that his gallbladder was not only small, but collapsed. The doctor did not have an explanation for this. 

Biliary Atresia came up again...the ultrasound showed that he didn't have any of the classic, obvious signs of this condition. However, it couldn't be ruled out at this time. But, if his guess would be that it was a very mild case, if it is the culprit.

We left with the impression that our appointment with the GI specialist on Thursday will lead to at least one other invasive test and more than likely, will ultimately involve some surgical intervention.

Again, this is just our educated guess and speculation. 

We will have to wait till Thursday to find out his thoughts and plan.

Some good news...

Weston was 8lbs 10oz today! 

He has finally passed his birth weight, having gained 4oz since Friday.

While the rash is not gone, it is looking a lot better, and the doctor feels it is baby acne.

Emily is still at Camp Nana, and we miss her terribly. But, she is having fun and Nana and GD are enjoying their time with E. It is reported that she is eating like a champ, and everything is "delicious" or "soooo good".
