Well, as usual, Kelsey's results weren't good but not bad. Most of the results were the same but the bilirubin was 2 points lower, the biggest drop in a long time : ) We haven't talked to the doctor since the results but he said that was what he was looking at the bilirubin the most to see if the liver was getting better. So, Andy and I are thinking this was great news and a big answer to prayer. We were hoping for more results to be better but we will take what we can get. Tomorrow morning at 8:00, Kelsey is getting an ultrasound (to check on how much fluid is still around and look at the liver again) and then all of her doctors are going to meet and talk about Kelsey's options. Then we will meet with them and talk about a plan for Kelsey. We are praying the ped cardio and GI doc can convince the heart surgeon that Kelsey's liver is and will get better and Kelsey should be scheduled for heart surgery soon. Another option they might look at is doing another liver biopsy. If they do we are praying they can use an ultrasound and not have to do an open surgery again. This would postpone the heart surgery again.
I'm still praying Romans 15:13 and holding on to Hope for my little baby girl.
Keep praying!!

That sounds like good news as far as Kelsey's bilrubin. We will continue to pray for healing for her liver and wisdom on the part of the doctors to pursue the best course of treatment. Hopefully the heart surgeon will agree to proceed.
