Thank you all so much for your prayers! He’s home now! His stomach pain was completely unrelated to his elevated liver enzymes. They tested his numbers this morning and they came down quite a bit. He was negative for hep A, B, and C. Also negative for adenovirus. He did test positive for rhinovirus, which is literally just the common cold. Doctors don’t quite have an answer, but basically if he never had the stomach pain, he wouldn’t have gone to the hospital in the first place, and nobody would have been the wiser that his enzymes were elevated. He seems completely fine at this point. It sounded like they were going to keep him another day until the gastroenterologist came in and said he could go, but they want one more round of blood work later this week to make sure his numbers continue going down to normal levels. I truly appreciate everybody that took time out of their day to add my son in their prayers!

It reminds me of when my son was in the hospital for a broken leg. They gave him some Tylenol on an empty stomach. This gave him a stomach ache, so they called in a gastroenterologist to evaluate him (10 minutes of asking questions and then charged us $350. This was 15 years ago. We disputed that charge, as well as the $12 for one Tylenol capsule.) Geesh. You have to watch EVERYTHING.
So thankful your son is doing well! Praise God!
