Normal Liver Enzymes!

We are happy people here in the Divelbiss household. For the first time in Joseph's life his liver enzymes are normal!!!! For those who aren't quite sure what that means... it means that there is not currently a problem. The only way to know if his liver problems caused any permanent damage is to do another biopsy. We don't know if he will have any problems later in life... but I can assume he will always have a weaker liver. I have to repeat the test when we get back from Bakersfield to make sure they are still normal. However, this is the most encouraging news we have had... ever. We are now trying to play catch-up in the eating department. Joseph is a baby of habit and so he doesn't know what to do with mommy changing his food choices. We have already extended his menu from 5 foods to 7 :-D

Anyways I always have to post pictures so here ya go!

Good News

Well we finally received the test results after 10 weeks of waiting. Joseph tested negative!! We are both so relieved!! I have to go and get his blood work done again and check his liver enzyme levels just to make sure they are back to normal, (His last test had them still slightly elevated) and then I can start giving him some foods with fructose in it. We still have to keep a close eye on him and test his blood again in a month. However, the doctor is hopeful that his liver will fully recover, and he shouldn't have too many complications. Thank you to everyone who has kept us in your prayers.
