Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 These last 2 days have been amazing. Yesterday I had my first ultrasound. Chris and I saw our baby and hear his/her heart beat for the first time. It was the most amazing experience of my entire life. Then today we saw his hep for a routine visit. He had the pathology results from his most recent colonoscopy. There were NO signs of dysplasia which means at this point, NO need for a colectomy. He wants us to return to see the surgeon who ordered the recent colonoscopy but said in his opinion we should just continue to follow up, do frequent colonoscopies and watch for any changes. Ok that's good news enough. The second bit of good news is that when his hep met with the transplant team a month and a half ago they felt that his liver was strong enough to with stand major surgery (the colectomy he no longer needs). He feels that at this time we just need to monitor him and he wants to continue to see him every 3 months for an exam, blood work and occasional MRI. He said it's not if but WHEN he'll need a transplant but it's not right now. 2009 is shaping up to be a pretty good year already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
