Test Results are In

Well, we called and talked to the nurse about the results and they were good and bad. Her ALT's and AST's were down HUGE praise but her alkaline phosphate and bilirubin were up. All of her blood counts were going back to normal from the chemo. We were encouraged that some were down but we didn't get a chance to talk to the doctor to ask about the ones that were up because of the holidays and the nurse really didn't know what to say about them. The next big day for Kelsey will be Monday when they do the test again and we will be meeting with the GI doc, who can explain everything. We're praying for some more great news.

Even last night Andy and I both thought Kelsey was looking less jaundice and her eyes were looking less yellow. We think if Kelsey was tested today her bilirubin would be lower, also. We are still battling the nose congestion and are hopelessly losing. Please, pray it will stop soon.

We're hopeful with some of the test going down and pray God will continue to heal Kelsey. I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel with this liver situation. Then it's on to the heart surgery but that will wait for a little while.

I thought the first couple of weeks with Keeton at home was the hardest thing I've ever done, but I must admit this first week and a half with Kelsey is much, much harder. I'm still trying to hang in there and enjoy having her home more.

Thanks for reading and praying,

Patti
