So, the main thought from Blake's appointment today was...have patience! After reviewing Blake's lab work that had been done over the summer, the doctor feels that he is headed in the right direction, but very, very slowly. The liver function is not where it needs to be; his numbers (the values they follow to determine functioning abilities) are still elevated and there is concern that the liver is still swollen. Another round of blood work was taken at the office, and so now we wait for those results and then the next step (CAT scan, biopsy, etc.). Dr. McOmber is such a caring guy; he took the time to comfort us as Blake and I cried together. It's hard sometimes to think about what Blake is going through - he is such a normal kid, but is still sick. We are thankful for all the prayers today. It brings great comfort at moments like this.
