According to the radiologist that looked over Ashley's MRI slides "there are some changes in her liver." He didn't say what the changes are or if the news is good or bad. All he said was that Dr. A. would call us with the results next week. I am assumming that the changes are not dramatic because they allowed us to go home.
My guesses:
a) Her three liver cysts have all disappeared. That would be very good news!
b) Her three liver cysts have grown. That would not be good news because the potential for cancer would exist.
c) The three liver cysts now has friends (more cysts found). This would not be good either because it means she has more cirrhosis.
Or maybe I am way off base with all my guesses. The only thing I know for sure is Ashley's liver disease is a guessing game for all involved. She has never been a textbook case and the longer she lives with her original liver, the more guessing we find ourselves doing.
Ashley did get sick off the IV contrast. We went to TGI Friday's after her MRI something that has become a tradition when Ashley goes to Shands Hospital. (I need to buy stock in Friday's or get a job there because we eat there often). We always stop and have lunch or dinner at the Friday's on Archer Drive. (Ashley loves Friday's Spinach dip). Ashley had a burger but unfortunately couldn't keep it down. After our two hour drive home, we got home about 6 pm, she had dry Mini Wheats for dinner. So far so good, she seems to be holding that down.
For now the news is good.
