55's results dropped again. YIPPEE~ His direct billirubin level dropped from 2.3 to 2.1 and his total billirubin level dropped from 4.1 to 3.6. This is a good thing. His direct billirubin level should be .5 so his is still much higher than they want it. His liver enzymes test also dropped. The AST was at 67 and dropped to 61 and his ALT went from 58 to 57. The levels are definately going in the right direction, but we are still unsure at this point the next plan of attack. His Pediatric GI is out of town until Monday, so he will review the results and determine whether or not he wants to perform the liver biopsy. This again will determine the diagnosis of biliary atresia. This is an important diagnosis as he would need to have surgery between 8-10 weeks of age and we are approaching 7 weeks already.
Everything is going great. Aunt Nancy and Uncle Jim leave town this evening. They are going to be missed. 55 has named Uncle Jim the best lap person in town. :)
