Honeybunches Liver is Healing

We had a long trip to the lab this morning, but Honeybunches did awesome. We left at 6:45, got there at 7:15, registered and then waited in the lab. They didn't even draw his blood until after 8 am. Note to self: Next time go on another day besides Monday. IDK if that lab's just normally busier or if it's because it is a Monday morning. I always try to time it right so we get his blood work 12 hours after his last Lithium level. This time it was closer to 13 hours. IDK if it makes a difference or not. I wonder if it might show up low. Although it was a different lab with a much longer wait, different lab tech and the lady even used a big needle instead of a kiddie one he did amazing. He was actually more patient than some of the adults waiting. This lab has a prize box with toys that ours doesn't have. From there we went to this train park he loves for just a few minutes. (NOTE TO SELF: That's not a nice place early in the morning...) Then we stopped at the grocery store to buy him a donut for a treat and check the yesterday's baked goods reduced rack for other goodies. (Our grocery store doesn't have anything like that.) I should have brought his meds with me. We didn't get back home until after 9:15. At the hospital he wanted to go down to the cafeteria for breakfast, but I told him since we didn't have his medications with us he'd have to make a decision. I gave him two choices of either going to the cafeteria to eat breakfast or going to the park and then to get a donut. He thought about it for a minute and picked the 2nd choice.

Honeybunches GI doc just called. When docs call themselves, I am used to getting bad news. This time it could not have gotten any better!!! He said that his blood work done this morning showed that the inflammation in his liver is GONE! His fatty liver (NASH) is better. He was so happy with the liver function blood work results, that he doesn't need to see Honeybunches next Monday like we were scheduled and not again until February!!! Praise the Lord! He said for us to keep up with his diet. We haven't been giving him the Prilosec for a few days because that doc told me to stop it a week or so before his schedule appointment to see how he did without it, if the food went down the wrong throat again as Honeybunches said it or if his cough came back. So far he's symptom free!
