Liver biopsy

Evan has been enjoying his time away from the hospital. We took him to a local park where he loved the swings and the slide. He does not, however, like grass. I guess that is what happens when you live in the desert. Lol! Evan has been back to himself running around and playing with his toys. He has started to eat some things by mouth. He likes pretzels and yogurt. On a different note, the virus that Evan has has decreased from over 1,000,000 down to 3,000. That number is from Tuesday, so it may even be lower now. The sad thing is that because of the virus his anti rejection med levels have been kept very low. His liver numbers have now increased so they did a liver biopsy. We should know the results tomorrow. The doctors believe that the numbers are likely due to the low level of anti-rejection meds which would then mean that his liver is showing signs of rejection. Although that word can be very scary, it is very common for patients to have bouts of rejection in the early months post liver transplant. They are treatable and the liver goes on to function normally after treatment. We were anticipating this possibility so are not completely surprised at this result. More disappointed than anything. We know that Evan will be okay... It's just a matter of time
