Liver clinic went so incredibly well. They (Drs. Whitington & Superina) are very, very impressed at how slow her liver disease is progressing and how smart, strong and generally just WELL that she is doing. She is growing by leaps and bounds (seriously, like 2 lbs. and 1 1/2 inches over the past 2 months). Yes, she has cirrhosis, a large spleen, obvious portal hypertension and that damn cyst, but she is doing great. They said come back in 1 YEAR!!! If Dr. Whitington had to estimate now when she would need her transplant, he thinks between ages 10 and 12! Wow! We are so thankful!
Mommy got her IKEA (quick) fix in on the way home and the 5 of us were very happy to be reunited last evening. Thanks to Grandmas Linnea & Coralee for splitting the Riley & Avery watching. Eight hours of clinics is no place for 3 little girls to hang out! Taking high-spirited Shelby is a handful enough!
By the way, Riley & Shelby have had head lice now for over a week. Today Grandma Coralee put a prescribed lice treatment on their head while I was at a meeting for work. I've sent them outside to play because their little heads stink so much. I can't wait for 6:30 tonight when it can be washed out. I'm not even reading up on this stuff because I know its bad, bad, but we can't seem to shake them with the regular treatments. I'm about ready to shave their heads! Let's hope this does the trick! I am sick of washing everything in hot water, vacuuming up a storm and picking nits out of their hair! GO AWAY LICE!!!
Please, as always, keep Shelby in your prayers. Let's keep her lifted up to God for continued good, stable health. Thank you so much.
