Christmas Miracles

We received some great news today!

Yesterday, I took Evan into the doctors to get more IV fluids and blood drawn. Once we got there they decided to do a CT scan, this showed that his liver was pushing fluid into his abdomen. They drew off the fluid and sent it to a lab for testing and they called me this morning with the most amazing news.

They said that the fluid showed that he has an infection and that is why his bilirubin count has been so high. The reason they couldn't find this before was because his white blood cell count was never elevated. They feel that with IV antibiotics, Evan will feel so much better.

The doctor said that he is guardedly optimistic because Evan still has liver disease but this should help him get more energy and he could possibly live to see another summer.

For me.... this is my Christmas Miracle and an answer to many prayers.

When Deb called me this morning I couldn't believe how overjoyed I was to hear the good news. I struggled to keep my composure, but tears leaked out even though I was at work. Hopefully, by Christmas, he'll feel like doing some real celebrating! Lots of Love and we'll see you on Saturday!
