But not necessarily quick. Dr. F (GI DR) called us a couple days ago and the results are in. Luke has unspecified hepatitis which means there is no known reason for his elevated liver labs. The good thing is the biopsy showed no inflammation, scarring, or disease! In most kids with unspecified hepatitis, the liver fixes itself but it can take a long time. Dr. F was happy with the results and said all we will have to do is follow Luke's labs every couple months. This result is such a Luke diagnosis! Something is off and we run all kind of tests just to tell us there isn't anything wrong or it is something that will resolve over time. Patience is not my strong suit but Luke has truly taught me many lessons...all the way back to waiting just to get pregnant. Happy with diagnosis and happy to wait for resolution since there isn't any damage.
Thanks for the prayers. Hopefully this is the last major test Luke will have for many years.
Jack really needs tubes in his ears and we are hoping to get him schedule for surgery as soon as possible after his ENT appointment in April. Jack has his 7th ear infection in 7 months and this one was pretty bad per the doctor. He is finally feeling better and back to his sweet-ish (as sweet as a 2yr old pushing limits can be) self.
School pictures were today and I am hoping they were still enough to get a good shot. Will post pictures soon.

Ruth and I are very glad to hear Luke's good news. I guess all we can do is be patient and wait for everything to resolve itself. Still keeping the Maumelle Barnes group in our thoughts and prayers.
