What now?
Nothing much changes except we finally have a name for what is going on with her. We will also be referred to a genetic specialist. I have yet to find out what they will actually do for us, but it will be another specialist we will see.
The good news:
With this diagnosis is that we can rule out biliary atresia so she can avoid surgery for now. They also believe that the mutation that her lab results show are very unique and most likely was not inherited, but a new mutation. This means we may not have to worry if our boys carry this gene.
This week I received a gift from my aunt for Emmery. She hand stitched and framed
Psalm 139:13-14.
"You created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mothers womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
Thank you Aunt Lori for this beautiful gift.
If you are the praying kind:
-We are praying for her liver to continue to remove the bile.
-We are praying her heart murmur goes away.
-We are praying for continued peace over her diagnosis
Love,
Emmery's Mom
