The preliminary report came in last night and it shows that there is no further damage to Mattie's liver. It has not gotten any better but it has not gotten any worse. This is most definitely an answered prayer. She is at stage 3 fibrosis with no cirrhosis. Which means she still has about 75% liver function. We are still waiting for the full report which we should have in about a week that could possibly give us more information as to what is going on. As for right now, we are getting the same diagnosis, autoimmune hepatitis. They do believe we are dealing with two different diseases. The kidney disease is separate from the liver disease because the kidney disease is cystic and the liver disease is autoimmune.
They are going to get the final report together and come up with a game plan. We are praying to know that plan in about a week. She will still need to see a neurosurgeon. Once we hear their plan, we will decide if she will see a neurosurgeon at home or in Cincinnati as she needs to have an MRI of the spine to rule out some issues that can cause the brain stem malformation.
Please continue to pray that the doctors will think outside of the box and come up with answers. Pray for God's healing so that Mattie can start high school next year feeling well and function normally. Remember no matter what God is good ALL the time. Love to all of our prayer warriors!
