GOOD NEWS Check up!!!

Today Angela had a check up with her liver specialists and surgeon. First she had an ultrasound to check the bypass they put in back in April. Her liver looks great and now, for the first time in her life, is  normal size for her body! There has been A LOT of revasculature of the tiny vessels, so more and more blood is being carried to her liver. This is exactly what we wanted to see.

Angela gets a shot of Lovenox, a blood thinner, every morning. She has done very well with them, but it is no fun. She has major sensory issues about the alcohol wipe because she doesn't like stuff on her skin. The shot itself burns and leaves giant baseball-size bruises on her arms and hips where she gets the shot.

Today the doctors gave Angela some good news!
