Another piece of the puzzle

Dr. M, the hematologist, is out of town until Wednesday. But Dr. B, our pediatrician who I absolutely love for how much he goes out of his way to help, looked up the results of the liver function tests for Baby H from last Thursday. They all were normal with the exception of an elevated GGT in the 500s. What that means? Possibly some biliary duct obstruction or liver damage, but Dr. B admitted he isn't an hepatologist and is calling TCH to get us set up with one sooner rather than later. But apparently this wouldn't have anything to do with the spleen/blood issue.

But hey, any piece of the puzzle is a step ahead, right? (At least that is what I keep telling myself).

A step ahead is a step ahead. Big hug to all of you and lots of positive energy coming you way as you try to figure out everyone's health issues -- with an extra big dose coming for Baby H.
