A Quick Update - Clinic Visit
Hi all
Been to "Leeds" today to see our GI team. All is ok as far as we can tell, Daniel had bloods so thats why this is just a quickie will post when the blood results are in. The doctor in Leeds is quite pleased with Daniel, his last bloods (6 weeks ago - re:itching) where good. I did ask about Daniels ALK Phos. being high and doc said "it can be any of 3 things", but Daniels will be mainly because his internal bile ducts inside the liver are inflamed and therefore causing scaring of the Liver (which we already knew) and also because he is growing. Aparently its common in kids of this age with BA it naturally rises when the bones are growing. (which Daniels are, because he has grown 5cm since Jan) So 2 things that we already knew and he didnt seem overly concerned. The main indicaters for them are his Albumin level (which is 40 - normal) and his Bilirubin (yes THAT word again) and its 12, again normal. So he could see by his bloods he is doing OK. Our next appointment is in 6 months, lets all hope & pray things continue on this path and our Lion doesnt roar...
