This has been a little bit of a difficult week to coordinate biopsy results because our cardiologist in Boston is out of town for a conference while our gastroenterologist is on service (the doctor for GI patients in the hospital). Keegan's liver enzymes in...
We weren't able to get in to see Dr. Kamin until 4:30pm today, and we didn't get labs drawn until after that. In fact, we didn't get "home" until almost 7pm from the hospital. Luckily, we spent the very nice morning touring Boston...
Keegan's follow-up appointment was pushed to tomorrow. Monday was a state holiday (Patriot's Day, running of the Boston Marathon), so the hospital was actually closed. Preliminary reports from Keegan's liver biopsy came back this afternoon, but we don't know much about them. Our doctor said...
UPDATE 4pm - We just arrived at the apartment. Keegan seems to be doing ok so far. We will be going in Tuesday for clinic and labs, so we'll update again then. Thank you again. Keegan got the green light for discharge...

UPDATE 4/18/09: Keegan slept ok after some benadryl to ease the itch. Thank God we cut his fingernails yesterday morning because he was ripping at his skin. He continues to be unusually fussy this morning and has had several bouts of really bad...
Keegan's labs were redrawn this morning, and he is scheduled for a liver biopsy and changing of his g-tube tomorrow at 1pm. Both of these procedures will be done in Interventional Radiology and will require general anesthesia and an overnight admittance for observation. ...
Well, it doesn't look like we'll be coming home for at least another week at least. We spent 3 1/2 hours in pre-op this morning only to be told that Keegan's liver biopsy will need to be pushed to Friday. The pre-op nurses...
Keegan has been cleared from a cardiology stand-point for anesthesia on Tuesday. His echo looked fine Thursday, as we expected. Monday, we will go in early in the morning for more labs and pre-op stuff. If his liver numbers spontaneously come back...
Sorry for the delay in posting. I hope y'all know by now that we would have updated had we had any real news. Now we do...
