Sigh

Well the good news is that no cancer was found in Kyle's biopsy. They did, however; find that his liver has suffered pretty extensive damage. They figure this has been going on where his liver has been being attacked for 2 months now. They determined that based on the scar tissue they found on the biopsy. That would have been right around the time we moved here.

They are still going along the lines that it is something Auto Immune related attacking his liver. Kyle doesn't like taking his meds, but he is a good sport and takes them anyway. He has always been a patient and mild mannered boy and this illness has made him that way even moreso!

I know we still have a long road of recovery, but I'm just so grateful there was no cancer. I was worried to the point I couldn't function, yet I was too nervous to call and get the results myself. Thankfully Laren did that for me.

Kari, I am so glad to hear that it is not cancer. And I hope that the road to a full recovery for Kyle is short and goes smoothly. Your family is in our prayers.

So what does the road to recovery entail? Do you have a home health nurse coming to do blood draws? Glad he's home!
