Liver update

RJ's lipid values would be normal if he were an adult. He's not, and our country doctor says he has no idea what is normal for a 2 month old since this is not something he usually does in 2 month olds, so we are waiting until we talk to the GI specialists to make a final interpretation, but that's at least a good first step in the right direction!

Liverwise, his GGT is still elevated (160-something, where it should be under 45). All other liver values are back to normal. So that is a good thing! I am refraining for speculating about elevated GGT values being a sign of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 because I am staying off the pubmed right now, and instead busting our our double jogging stroller for its inaugural use (for a walk in the snow).
