HAPPY LIVER-versary!!!! :)

I feel so so bad I have not gotten on to update in almost a month!! But that is how things have been going. I have lots of pictures and news to share. Which will mean a re-post this evening. Sorry!

But I will say that this past week on March 3rd, we celebrated what we are calling Kayli's 2 month Liver-versary! :D  Two months have passed a since a new liver brought her new life. We continue to Praise God and the medical team and the donors family.

We had one little scare last week, when Kayli's labs came back showing elevated liver function tests and creatinine levels. We were told to go have her labs drawn again to verify. We did a re-draw 2 days later and the labs were back looking normal again. Cause? Kayli went on a "self-diet" and didn't eat for nearly 2 days, and wasn't drinking water like she was supposed to. When we discovered this we began regulating her diet for a couple of days during the lab re-draw, and the 2nd set of labs were fine.
At her last appointment with the dr this past week, her nurse, Makita, showed her on her chart that Mom and Dad actually say the things we do for a reason... "Here's what your numbers looked like as your new liver has gained more and more function and is now working full force...here is what your numbers looked like when liver is working at 100% perfectly...here is what your numbers look like when you don't drink water or eat for 2 days...here is what your numbers look like as your liver is recovering from you starving it for 2 days...see where I am going with this???? Kayli, "OH". She got it then finally. Like any normal teenager she doesnt want to believe mom and dad until it comes from a "higher authority" LOL<

SO now that she understands that eating right and drinking plenty of water make all the difference in how she feels...all has been going well. Now we are focused on grades, school work, and Cinderella!!!

So GOOD MORNING and have to run for now, but hopefully I can get on this evening and give an even better update WITH pictures!!! :D
