Follow up!
Got a call yesterday from the doctors nurse. Rio's liver is inflamed but his doctor has hope it will continue to heal itself. In June his numbers were in the 60's and 110's, in July they were in the 40's and 60's. Obviously improving. So we have a follow up in December! Yes that's right no more bi-weekly blood drawings.
Now on to 'normal' life!

Liver Biopsy
Monday August 3rd Rio started sitting up on his own! He is getting to be such a big boy, and changing so fast.
Wednesday August 5th, we had to go to Des Moines for Rio's liver biopsy. Special orders from doctor:
No milk after 9am
Clear liquid until 10:30am
Check in at 11:30am
His biopsy was to start at 1pm
The entire morning he did really well, no crying until about 12:30 when he started to get hungry and bored in the hospital. So finally at 1 the nurse decided to start his IV which was just to administer medicine, no liquids. She got the IV in his hand and then pulled it out, seemingly without reason. Then started one in his foot. Poor boy loves to kick his feet and his foot was pulled straight and taped to a board.
They started a little medicine at 1:20pm. And at 1:40pm they took him into do the procedure. Mario and I decided instead of waiting the entire time worrying we would go get something to eat. Within 20 minutes we got the call that Rio was back in recovery. We got there and he was sleeping. He stayed asleep all of 30 minutes or so and woke up because his tummy was EMPTY! So I fed him and we were able to leave at 3:30pm. We got to my grandparents house and Rio was rolling around acting as though nothing happened. And even started to crawl yesterday. He gets up on his knees and takes a lunge to get whatever object is in front of him...especially likes cell phones and remotes.
Rio then slept from 9-4 last night and another 1.5 hours after that and is sleeping now! I think since he is able to eat he feels much better and is able to sleep happily as opposed to yesterday.
Now we are just waiting on the results which should be in soon, they said they should know in 24 hours from when they did the test. So within the next few hours I should be getting a call.
