My notes from yesterday...

Possible Choledochal cyst ( 6 mm swelling in common bile duct)

Need MRCP (MRI specialized) under sedation to determine if cyst exists or not.

Check hernia w/surgeons

Lactulose for constipation. (still going to discuss w/ physician) John is going every other day to every day, not sure why we need this.

Full panel of blood work was drawn  yesterday including a screening for Celiac disease (this will take apprx. 3 wks to get results.)

Current nausea/sleepiness/stomach pain issues due to virus, not related to underlying problem

Original Liver/ blood work test results were normal for his age/ #s were not converted/adjusted to John's age.

Possible cyst in bile duct. If present, it will have to be removed.

We had a very long day yesterday, & a long night. John threw up on me during the night & had the dry heaves w/a slight fever. Fever is gone now & he has eaten his first ice pop this morning & is resting.

Will update as I get more results. Sorry, no fun photos. today. :(
