Update on Kate


In May, Kate had her blood drawn to see if her liver enzymes (called GGT's) were staying under control without medication. Unfortunately, they had actually gone up quite a bit, so we were stressed and nervous about what it could mean. Her doctor said they would check again in 2 months to see if they continued to rise, and then we would decide what to do.
For the last 2 months we have fasted and prayed a lot for little Kate. Yesterday, she had her blood drawn and... her GGT levels have gone down and are now within the normal range! Yay!! We are so relieved. We will continue to have appointments with her pediatric GI doctor every 6 months or so, but for now- things are good. I hope and pray that she will continue to do well and stay relatively healthy. She is such a happy, sweet little girl and we love her so much.
