Back in the hospital once again. Kaelyn presented a fever late Wednesday night, so off the the ER we went. She does have positive blood cultures so we will be here until atleast Sunday. She went in for a cholangiogram and tube change yesterday. The docs came back with wonderful news. Her biliary system looks amazing! They could find no evidence of sludge or narrowing. They mentioned that if we were not moving out of state they would have considered pulling the tube to see what would happen. But because of our move they wanted to be cautious and leave it in until after we are settle. I was actually very grateful they decided that, because the last thing we need during our move is a major liver event and have no access to see what is going on. Dr. Shaw, our IR doc that does most of her tube changes, mentioned that he called the IR doc in Utah and is very confident in her ability to care for Kaelyn. He filled her in on all of Kaelyn's info and they think that within a month after we are there that they may be able to get rid of the drain! I am very excited! Kaelyn has told me that the first thing she wants to do when she is tubeless and healed is go swimming. She will be a very cute little mermaid! So keep those prayers coming (it would hurt to cross your fingers too!). I think this will be a wonderful summer!
