. . . in the distant, early morning . . .

The medication is working, Mali update

Mali’s liver is responding very well to medication.  Liver ALT at 270ish - still elevated but much better. The rest of her values are better.  Her white blood cell count is very high still.

She’s also constipated and hasn’t had a normal bathroom visited in 2 days; she is on medication to try to alleviate this.

I have other updates but I’m tired.  I mostly wanted to note the improvements.  She ate today though I’m not pushing her until she has a good bowel movement.

Things are looking up, which is a huge relief.  Her doctor thinks that she’s going to do very well on medication, so here’s hoping!
