Coming out of hidey hole to update you all

[Guest guest]

It's been quite some time since I've been on here, but I thought I'd update all

of you on what has been going on. I became an inactive member last July because

I couldn't mentally handle reading what was to come in my future. I still

intend to remain that way, but just wanted to give some positive news.

I'm pregnant and everything is going very smoothly. My liver levels are within

normal ranges (as they do whenever I'm pregnant). By the way, I asked the

gastroenterologist about this phenomenon, and he said that it was likely due to

the increased volume of blood that occurs during pregnancy. The increase in

volume essentially dilutes the waste products in the blood, bringing the values

back down to normal levels. Makes sense to me. Unfortunately, when I asked

about a blood volumizer in drug form, he claims none has been made yet. It was

a thought anyway...

So, I was diagnosed in Fall of 2007, and have had an uncomplicated pregnancy

thus far (and I don't see any reason for that to change!). I will be watched

closely after the birth because the hormonal effects on the immune system. I

will update again come May or so to let you all know the outcome! I'm due May

6th.
