Hi; Linda will be in the hospital overnight tonight as the medical team is still discussing how best to intervene. The liver values from the tests now reflect congestion with no viral abnormalities so extreme as to create her current problems. However, the heart tests today suggest heart involvement with valve leakage ( which contributes to the liver congestion ). So, we are back where we started, with the team looking at the heart as the prime cause of her difficulties. Her surgeon plans to meet with her this evening, or tomorrow, to review the Cardiologist's and liver specialist's findings and to contribute his own perspective as to potential benefits associated with surgical intervention. Linda has been through a lot and the lack of clarity, in regard to causation related to her condition, has been hard on her. She did not sleep well last night and was hopeful that she would not have to stay the night in the hospital ,but, I guess the medical team wants to keep her close ,after all she went through today and yesterday, and they may want to do even more tonight in terms of assessment.
I learned today that folks are having difficulty writing comments in response to the information on the blog. Just write an e-mail to linda and I'll see that she gets it. Her e-mail address is, lhill1950@gmail.com. Thanks, again, for your interest and concern. John
