jenna update

The appointment with Dr. Sferra (Gastroenterologist) went well yesterday.  Nick and I are feeling much more optimistic about the condition of Jenna's liver.  Dr. Sferra explained that over a 3 to 4 year span that the condition of Jenna's liver could begin to cause considerable damage, so we have time to take action before it reaches that time span.  Jenna's labs were drawn and we will hopefully hear from the doctor today about the reading.  If not today, then on Monday.  If the numbers are still elevated or increasing, an ultrasound will be done to confirm it is safe to continue with the biopsy.

Thanks for praying!  I will update again as soon as I hear word from Dr. Sferra.
