Today was another one of Blake's never ending appointments. He is so used to the routine by now; lab work and blood draws are no big deal, taking 6 pills a day is getting a little old, but he does it anyway because he knows its necessary, and the food restrictions are just becoming the "usual" for the day.
Today we met with Dr. McOmber at Phoenix Childrens Hospital and got a little bit of good news. There are some new studies being done for Blake that show that we may be able to lower the amount of medication he is taking daily! This brought a huge smile to his face. After a year of taking 6 pills a day, as an 11 year old, this is a huge step forward. After his examination, Dr. McOmber also told us that he felt that Blakes liver is not as swollen as previous visits have shown!
We are so blessed to have so many people praying for our son, and to say thank you is a small place to start.
We have been given the clear for 4 months and don't have to go back until February 2011! We will miss seeing the GI team each month, but are so thankful for this new part of the journey.
