Olivia had her first
HIDA scan this morning and she's heading back shortly for some follow up pictures. Basically the GI team is still trying to rule out Biliary Atresia (shrinkage/disaperance of bile ducts - either in or outside the liver) with this scan. We had hoped that her original ultrasounds had eliminated this as a possiblity, but there is a version fo BA that can be progressive, developing over the first couple months of life rather than being present at birth.
She will also receive another ultrasound of her liver later this afternoon checking her gall bladder once again -- to make sure it's still present.
Poor girl has been fasted most of the day... needless to say she's NOT HAPPY and she's letting most of the hospital know, by screaming at the top of her lungs.
More later
