We did labs again today (my new favorite Tuesday activity) and fortunately my bilirubin is still dropping. As slow as molasses... but at least it's going down. On the other hand, my ALT went up again and my AST stayed elevated. I feel leaps and bounds better than I did ...

Well my blood test results came in and I'm at an 8.8. Eh. We thought I'd be at a 4 by now. I can deal with an 8.
But... my ALT and AST (liver enzymes that say how healthy your liver is) are elevated again and my albumin (which says how ...

Here's a question I have: why do baby gates exist?
When my parents brought me home, we brought my two cats with us. It was a stipulation of mine. I couldn't board them for an indefinite period of time, Izzie gets very freaked out when I'm not around and honestly, I ...

They took me to another lab that uses the same machine as the one back home, and drew blood again.
14.6. It is dropping at two points a day. :) :) At this rate, I will stop itching by next Friday. Woohoo!

The first set of results can in this morning, and my dad said "no way these are the numbers," so they ran them again. Three times. And the numbers are? 18. 19. and 20. According to this lab, I dropped 11 or so points in a week... which is relatively ...

I hope everyone has a lovely day. The Man sent red roses... and a teddy bear. (I think my mom is smitten.) ;)
Thanks baby.
Happy Valentine's Day.

We cut my hair yesterday. I know that may not seem like a big deal, but it was to me. I had long hair... not super long, but about the middle of my back—maybe a little less—and I really liked my hair. Considering the circumstances I'm in right now (being ...

I have one cat who only pees in the catbox—she poops on the linoleum next to it. I've tried everything, and after three years, have just accepted that it will always be this way.
Except, apparently, at Grandma's house, where yesterday, to all of our great and astonished delight, she pooped ...

So basically I want to kill myself. The flights yesterday were agony, especially after we learned that the bili is up to 29.7.
It appears I'm hitting record numbers for this. My dad is looking into a new way of treating jaundice, but it's a) not really for jaundice (it ...
