More about Abby D!

Today we had another appointment for Abby. Her first appointment was with ultra sound. She was such a good girl she was very still and listened very well to the tech. The radiologist came in and He was happy with the pictures so he didn't have to do anymore which was good because Abby was ready to go. Next She had to go to the lab. She was fasting for the ultra sound and was starting to eat her breakfast on our way over the the lab. Once we got to the lab she was happy eating her bagel but as soon as she heard her name she knew where she was going and started to cry. She was so upset. They made three attempts and finally got some blood. She was so upset that she made herself puke all over the floor. She calmed down and got some prizes and then we went to the liver clinic. She did great there and her results from the labs and ultra sound were already posted. Her doctor said that her gall bladder is back to normal size and doesn't seem to be filled with fluid. Her pancreas is still swollen but, the ducts seem to be normal size. The liver is still enlarged but has decreased in size. The GGT which is the liver functioning lab was down to 34 and was at 465 a month ago. So a lot of progress is being made. But some of the liver labs have increased since her labs 4 weeks ago so the doctor has ordered more labs. We go back in 2 weeks and those labs will be more for the liver. She is feeling better. She looks and acts better. We are grateful for the power of prayer and fasting. We know that the Lord has a hand in all things and that He is watching out for our little girl. Please continue to pray for Abby. Thank you for your prayers we know she will get better over time.
