He was admitted for overnight observation after going to the ER with severe stomach pains. CT scan showed the tip of his appendix is slightly inflamed, liver is inflamed, liver enzymes are 8x normal, and bilirubin is 1.3 instead of 1. Doctor said possibly the hepatitis that’s been going around in children. My son is 7, and has not been vaccinated. He had COVID around Christmas, but I’m not sure if that matters at all. He’s not in pain now, just tired. Hopefully it’s nothing and his numbers go down by the morning.

Sorry to hear that. That is heartbreaking for your 7 year old to be in that condition. I will put your kid in my prayers tonight.
