Birmingham on Monday

On Monday Hannah has first check up for a year at Birmingham Children's Hospital. We will see Dr McKiernan (hopefully, otherwise a registrar) first, followed by an ultrasound, which will tell us how good her liver is, and whether or not she has portal hypertension.

The signs are at the moment that Hannah will be able to keep her own liver for at least the next several years. I am hoping the ultrasound shows that what is going on inside is just as positive as what we can see from the outside, and what can be gleaned from labs and basic examinations. I shall have a few nerves until the visit is over....and I am going to make the most of our annual visit and turn up with a list of questions.

I shall update with the results on Monday.

All best wishes for the appointment and ultrasound - will be thinking of you. We're back in Birmingham on Thursday next week, had bloods yesterday locally - no results yet... x xxx
