Last week transplant doctors at Duke gathered to discuss the particulars of Micah's tests and situation. He continues to look and act healthy. He's currently with family at the lake and appears to be more of a fish than a little boy.
The doctors conversed about the increase of blood pressure in regard to the portal vein clot from four years ago. It is believed that at this time this issue needs to be addressed. Whether this will involve stints inserted or a new pathway surgically created to provide blood flow, we are not sure at this time. The aim was to insure Micah got healthy (over the parvovirus, blood counts came up, etc.). This does appear to be happening as revealed in last week's blood tests.
For now, he is healthy and we are waiting. Please continue to pray for him and our family. We trust God is able to do great things. He is bigger!
