Good News!!!!

Remember the part about having my blood drawn every Monday and going to see the surgeon every Tuesday?  Well, I got to thinking about that and I wasn't too crazy about having a co-pay every week to have someone tell me one little number.  So, I went for my bloodwork this morning and I called the dr's office later to ask if I really need to come in, or if they could just tell me over the phone.  After she consulted with the dr, she called me back and said I didn't have to come in...........AND the results of my bloodwork were already there. 
My thought:"Please don't be higher than 3.0 (eyes closed and fingers crossed)
Her response:"It looks great, your biliruben has come down to 0.5.  So you can wait 2 weeks to have the bloodwork completed again and just call us later that day"

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is great news on so many levels!  I hate needles so one less poke is wonderful.  I don't have to go visit the office and pay co-pays.  Normal bloodwork means no surgery right now (they will still do it after the baby is born).  I'm not jaundiced.  God is still great, and he still hears and answers prayers!  I'm so happy!!!!

They said they think I probably passed a stone right before I had the first bloodwork done which irritated some stuff in there and elevated the liver enzymes.  So the plan is to still eat a very bland diet, ugh, and try to prevent the attacks which could cause me to pass more stones (PAINFUL).  If my numbers stay good, then we will have no problem just waiting until after Jaxten is born and proceed with the laparoscopic surgery. 

(Big sigh of relief)

Now might be a good time to get started on the nursery though.
