His GI doc ordered an ultrasound of his liver and an x-ray on his chest. Ultrasound came back perfect...YAY right??
Wrong, his chest x-ray came back, his vertebrae aren't fused right. So that along with his liver enzymes being elevated his GI doc says it is a sign but not diagnostic of 'Alagilles Syndrome'. It has a list of bad things...and a list of good things. Basically too much to type and I haven't read anything online because I do NOT want to scare myself. The best part of what i was told was it could reverse itself and everything could go to normal, that and it is the most common reason newborns have liver problems.
Anyhow, we have an appointment on Tuesday with a pediatric opthomologist to help tell us if it is Alagilles or not. Even if the eye test comes back with signs of Alagilles Syndrome it could still be a number of things.
