Bilirubin going down

Hi Friends and Family,
Got the results of the bloodwork today and the bilirubin is down to 9. Normal is 1 or below so that is a big improvement from 20 where it was two weeks ago. We are going in the right direction. His hemoglobin is also dropping which is not good but the doctor feels that is just part of the liver not functioning well. We see the internist again next Wednesday and will have new bloodwork by then. Joe is definitely getting stronger, down to just one nap a day. We will go see our grandskids sing in choirs tomorrow night which will be fun. All is on the upswing so prayers are being answered. Our kids are all coming in in three weeks so it will be fun to be together again. It is not easy to arrange with one in Ohio , one in Az., and two here but if we can do it once or twice a year we think that is great. Take care and God Bless Mary Anne
