Well, Kaelyn needed to go in today for another cholangiogram (where they shoot dye into her biliary drain to see if it is blocked and needs to be replace, and also to check the status of her bile ducts) of her liver drain. This time her tube is not blocked but some of her bile ducts are starting to deteriorate from the lack of blood flow. From the sounds of it, this is not a reversable process. We have not yet talked with Dr. Healey about it, so he may have some advice on how we can slow this process. I don't know exactly what this means, so when we get more info from Dr. Healey tomorrow I will try and post more about this.
In other news, I have come down with strep throat! Darn it all. Luckily we caught it early and hopefully no one else will get it. So I am moving a little slow and cannot be around Kaelyn until tomorrow. Which is hard for me. But thankfully Wade's mom, Sue, was able to take tomorrow off and spend the night with Kaelyn tonight. Wade is almost out of sick leave at work, and we need to save it for emergencies, so his mom- the wonderful person she is, is helping out. They have put Kaelyn on precautionary antibiotics just in case she has strep also.
Jacob is riding his bike without training wheels! He is such a big boy! I can't even believe how old he looks cruising around on his bike! He just loves it, he rides from dusk til dawn just about!
Well, I need to get going. I will try and give you all more information as it comes available.
Love ya,
Angie
