Spent the weekend waiting patiently for yellow, stinky poop. The stinkier and more yellow it is, the more things are going in the right direction. Needless to say, we didn't see yellow poop, much less stinky, all weekend. Her steroid burst was started on Friday, yesterday (4/10) was the final dose. Last night, she was scheduled for lab draw to see where her liver numbers were. Blood draws on Mercy are very difficult due to her tiny veins and very slow flow. In order to keep things on a more positive note and to make a long story short, her labs were due at 6:00 pm, but were not actually (completely) drawn until 10:00 pm. The results came back showing very little change in the numbers. We were told to prepare for an "exploratory" procedure meaning they may want to "look around" to see what the issue is. There is a chance that she will need another surgery, this time attaching the intestine to the liver rather than the gall bladder.
So, in preparation, she has not been able to eat since 6:00 this morning.
