No Biopsy
We were hoping today that Aria would go down for a liver biopsy. She was put on the acute list which means you can be bumped off for emergencies. So at 3.30 pm I asked what the go was and the plans had changed. Dr C had been downstairs to check the ultrasound from yesterday and it was all looking perfectly fine and by the afternoon it was looking unlikely that Aria would get down today.
At lunchtime though I noticed that her outputs were looking back to their normal colour. They have been quite pale for weeks now, like the bile has been absense so obviously something is up with her liver. Your liver produces the bile that drains into your intestine and helps digest your food (I think- someone correct me if I am wrong) Anyway this was a great sign and we are hoping this continues and her liver tests done tonight come back better.Â
I was a bit sad today because Aria missed a fun day at daycare and with the lead up to Christmas it would be nice to be home. But maybe it is not to be, hopefully soon though!
Lots of people are having trouble loading the site, although our web guru Dan in Switzerland is having no trouble getting on! How strange is that? So I will update just in case he is not the only one.

Groan! So close to Christmas. Hang in there kiddo’s! There must be something in the timing that none of us can see yet. The website is ok from Australia. Get back as soon as is humanly possible to keep us updated with the test results.
