Ethan's Test Results

Ethan had labs run early this morning and the docs gave us the results late this morning (Make that yesterday... by the time I checked his diaper, searched for his diaper rash ointment, decided it was in the locked medicine drawer, found someone to get it, and got the diaper changed Monday was gone!). His liver enzymes went up a little higher, but his bilirubins went down. They said they feel like his liver is doing better, it just needs more time. They consulted with some other type of doctor (my little brain can only hold so much info) and decided to take him off the Phenobarbital and start him on Ursodiol. Now we wait another week and test again, so as far as the question of when Ethan gets to go home, all I can tell you is... not this week! He is starting to feed better (a step forward), but has lost weight the past three days. I'm not sure what's going on there, unless it has something to do with that diaper I just changed!! Maybe he's getting rid of some more belly fluids... that's my hope!
Michael and Grant are doing good at home. Michael is being initiated into the world of the sleep deprived, but his mom is up to help now, so maybe it won't be too bad on him! For now, anyway! Just wait until both boys are home!
