Wonderful Wednesday!

Today is a wonderful Wednesday! The day started off with a blood draw followed by a play date with Evan's best friend, Emily! Those two just love spending time together and ask about each other all the time. Of course it's also wonderful that I am good friends with Emily's mom as well. :) It makes for a wonderful time for moms and kids to have a play date where everyone enjoys being together!

What makes today even more wonderful, though, is that Evan's labs look beautiful! We had a little scare about a month ago when Evan's bilirubin levels came back elevated two lab draws in a row. The doctor ordered an ultrasound to check and make sure that the bilirubin was flowing correctly. Shortly after the ultrasound we learned that the ultrasound looked perfect and Evan's bilirubin was going back down.

Today's labs so PERFECT labs! :) All numbers are well within the normal range and Evan's liver is happy! :) Evan is currently 17 months post transplant and has only had 1 inpatient stay at the hospital since transplant. We've had a few visits to urgent care of the ER, but all turned out to be "normal kid stuff" like ear infections. Even his 1 inpatient visit was just a virus, but needed close monitoring to make sure his prograf level stayed down and his liver stayed happy.

Evan is one blessed little boy and we are thankful every day for his donor and donor family! :)
