The Ultrasound - Aria MacDonald

The Ultrasound

19 Oct at 8:41 pm by Hamish MacDonald

Aria got her ultrasound this afternoon.

We waited a long time and we had every indication that it wasn’t going to happen today when we got the call at 3pm that we had a slot. The scan went pretty well, Aria was interested in what was going on and interacted nicely with the sonographers in between watching Mr Bump on DVD and counting how many accidents he had (we got up to 7).

We were quite bothered by the results of this from what the sonographer said, the bile duct obstructions we believed would of been causing the increased liver numbers weren’t there, and there was no sludge to be seen either. The liver is big too. We were worried that this meant her liver is in worse shape than we expected.

We were told that the report would be sent through on their hospital computer system, an hour later they weren’t. We were bugging our very patient Dr’s for some answers to our worries, and they couldn’t because they didn’t have the report. One of the Drs said he would check before he left and thankfully he did and the report had finally turned up. He assures us that the ultrasound has nothing we should be immediately worried about.

Still while the nothing to worry about from the scan is nice, there is still the fact her liver is really playing up and she is still having grumbly temperatures.  Please pray some answers are forthcoming or things get better, preferably both.

At this stage there is a sense that we are just buying time so we can get her to the states for transplant…. a hard reality when that isn’t yet assured….

Still we wait on the Lord, with faith, because we know he gave all he had for us.
