Prayer Request

At the 6 month appointment today, we received some new news about Nathan's condition. Lately on his bloodwork we have been doing a basic metabolic panel (bmp), but the Hospice team asked to have a complete metabolic panel (cmp) run this week. The reason behind it was to look at all the liver enzyme numbers. His bilirubin level has been in the normal range and for those of you who have seen him he doesn't look yellow anymore. Kyle and I assumed based on the bili level that his liver was recovering and functioning more on its own. When we inquired at the appointment this morning about adjusting his Actigall, Dr. Gray said that the bili looks good, but there are three other numbers related to the liver that are still really high. I knew that we needed to be praying for a miracle for his kidneys and brain, but I am now asking for prayers for his liver as well. We will be rechecking his bloodwork Monday instead of waiting the normal 2 weeks. Thank you for your continued prayers!
