Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Chaim is back in the hospital today (almost a month since the previous time) after 2 days of feeling like crap and having a high fever with chills--although we didn't let the fever get to more than 39.6 C. His Lft's are fine and WBC's pretty good, only the bilirubin is a bit high, I think he said 1.3 or 1.6 mg/dl. No antibiotics yet though. My guess is they will do an ERCP. How else are they going to know what is going on and do something if there's an infection? Hopefully tomorrow morning he'll be seen by gastro/ hept. specialist and then we'll know a bit more. We just don't get it and of course it's scary. But relative to others, we have it pretty easy... I do have some good news though, last Tuesday we attended our 2nd yearly conference with the Israeli Hepatitis Foundation, which has now changed their name to " The Israeli Healthy Liver Foundation " (of which we are a part of). We had the opportunity to ask a panel of top Israeli Hepatologists and gastroentrologists about what they though of the results of Lindor's high Urso study. They were unanimous in their opinion about not jumping the gun and to continue taking Urso until a) further research is done b)Lindor's study & results were properly and thoroughly reviewed by a group of his peers, even if Lindor is one of the top in the field. This also being Chaim's hepatologist's view, we were reassured to hear this. My best to all of you, Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
