Slowly, but surely. . .
Well, I went to the doctor yesterday and things are looking up. My billirubin is down to 5.7, last week it was up at 7 something. It peaked at 12.5, which they were nervous about, but it looks like I am going down. I don't have to go back to the doctor for 3 weeks!! Yipee! I have been going EVERY week, at least once a week for the past month. So, last week they sent my blood work to the expensive lab (my insurance better cover it!!) and they got the results back. They had been getting positives on 3 different viruses and were wondering if it was false positives. And it was. They got a positive on just one virus, the Epstein Barr virus (mono) and the rest were negative. The blood work also showed my body is starting to develop antibodies to the mono virus, so the doctor is hoping it won't be a problem in the future. So, that is the update on me!! Very good news!
