I talked to Dr. Thompson this morning, but still don't know for sure what the endresults are. As of now, both the liver enzyme test and the direct billirubin test increased in number. We are still waiting for two more blood tests to arrive, one being something called Wilson's Disease and the called Alpha 1 Tripson Deficiency. They both sound worse than they are, but will they will give us the info we need to continue the narrowing process of why his numbers are high. If those tests come back postive, we can rule out Billary Atresia or a cyst of some sort on the bile duct. If they come back negative, we will have to do some more exploring of the two, both of which would need surgery. The worse one of the two would be Billary Atresia as it is a much bigger surgery with still the posibility of a liver transplant down the road. At this point, 55 is still eating and growing, both of which are positives. We appreciate your prayers and will keep you updated.
