I guess it was wishful thinking on my part to go back to regularly scheduled life... I took Kyle into the hospital this morning to have his liver enzymes rechecked and then followed up with a visit to the Pediatrician this afternoon.
His levels are not going down as hoped. One level went down and the other is up, enough to concern the doctor. One level went from from 4093 to 4800, the other level went from 4100 to 3900, so the change is negligable for the positive on the second one. His bilirubin went up from 13.1 to 14.8 and the conjugated bilirubin went from 10.1 to 9.1, again a negligible for the positive on the second one and quite a bit worse on the first one.
You know it is not good news when the specialist calls you and wants you to call him back on his cell phone at 8:00 at night and says he wants to see Kyle first thing again Monday and to come with Kyle prepared to have a biopsy - after his levels are checked on Monday morning.
It appears at the moment that we are a long ways from being out of the woods on this with Kyle. I'm supposed to watch for lethargy, bloody noses and unconsciousness over the weekend. Please keep praying! On Sunday, we are going to have a special fast for Kyle if anyone wants to join us.

Continuing to keep him in my prayers!
I'll fast with ya! How scary this is for you guys! How's Kyle holding up???
definitely fast with you! LOVE you kari - and keeping kyle in my prayers. what is your new address? will you e-mail it to me?
If he is that serious why don't they send you to the hospital?! I am glad you have strong faith and know the Lord will guide and help you all through this. It is hard to see our kids suffer and especially being so powerless to know what is exactly is wrong.
We'll definitely join you.
Kari i am so sorry! Thanks for telling us about the FAST.
Our prayers are with you and your family.
Oh, Kari, I'm so sorry! I will be fasting for you all tomorrow. {{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}} and prayers!
