Jessie and I went to see Dr. Flamm this past Friday (the 24th of April) and we walked out with excellent news:
I WILL NOT NEED A LIVER TRANSPLANT BEFORE AGE 30 OR AT ALL FOR THAT MATTER!
He has reviewed all of my stuff after having to fight with Dr. Jacobs office to get it and my records and biopsy point to one of two things. Option # 1: My Crohns disease has moved in to my liver and is causing problems-it’s 100% treatable. Option #2: I have come down with auto immune hepatitis which is not contagious or transmittable in any way. Basically my white blood cells have picked my liver as their next target. It’s 100% treatable, with a medication Dr. Jacobs took me off of a year ago, along with a low and short dose of prednisone.
In all seriousness this is the best news/21st birthday present I could ever receive. Just knowing I won’t have to go under the knife at some point for a liver transplant has lifted such a HUGE weight off of my shoulders I cannot possibly describe the feeling in words.
Oh by the way:
HAPPY 10 MONTHS JESSIE. I LOVE YOU!
