GOOD NEWS UPDATE! --2/19 9:30am

Amanda got her liver enzymes tested again today and the results were OUTSTANDING!!! Her ALT level was 102 on Tuesday (normal is about 7-56), and today her ALT was at 52! We don't know why her liver was showing what it did on Tuesday, but it looks good now! She will be staying with the generic pills, and we will be seeing her ID doctor on Tuesday for our first follow-up!

Thank you so much for everyone's prayers! Praise God for the good outcome today! We've done nothing different as far as food or meds, so I'm giving the glory to God for this positive news! I know the prayer warriors here at FR are a powerful group, and I am comforted to know you are all in our corner! :)

Hopefully I will not have another update until Tuesday when we go see the doctor! So from here I guess "no news is good news"! :) She is far from beating this infection (the meds are probably JUST starting to work now - it takes a while to "catch up" to the infection from what I understand). However, knowing what we are dealing with and having a very attentive and caring doctor is a tremendous blessing based upon the treatment we were receiving before!

Thanks again so much for all the prayers, advice and support. I wish I could reply to everyone's posts individually, perhaps tomorrow I can go through and reply a bit. There are things I'd love to respond to, but with this good news I think I'm going to try to just enjoy spending time with my girls today, and praising God for not having to take Amanda back to the hospital today!

Much love to all of you. May God bless you & yours abundantly!

PS -- I realized last night at the pharmacy that I was confused about her medication. The pill form she has IS the generic covered by our insurance. The liquid/suspension is the brand-name they wouldn't cover because the pill is the "same medicine". It may take a little longer to get rid of the infection this way, but as long as she remains stable for now, the meds should "catch up" to the infection and she should start REALLY feeling better next week... This is a doozy of an infection to knock out - as I mentioned a while back she will have to take this medication for at least 6-9 months. Sorry for the confusion on that! :)

Glad the medicine confusion is sorted out. It’s so easy to get confused.

Enjoy your time with your girls and I’ll look for an update sometime next week.

Prayers continue of course.
