Surgeon and GI Follow-Ups

We got some disappointing news this afternoon. Weston's liver functions and bilirubin levels have not changed much since discharge. It could just be that he needs a little more time before the numbers start responding. On the bright side, the surgeon felt that if the surgery wasn't working at all, his numbers would have increased significantly. Both doctors are still hopeful that the Kasai procedure will work for Weston. Another piece of good news, the biopsy showed that while his liver was fibrotic, it had not developed cirrhosis.

So, the plan is to have the labs redrawn in two weeks. If there is still no change and depending on the results of other tests, they may either increase the steroids or treat him for possible infection.

We still appreciate any prayers and positive thoughts. Weston HAS to get better!
