Liver Biopsy scheduled on October 31st

We met with Dr Wiersema, a local gastroenterologist. He will perform a liver biopsy at Lutheran Medical Park, Thursday morning at 8:15 am. He was very thorough and kind to us. He even showed us the CT Scan results on the computer and compared the July scan with the Oct scan. That is the first time we have been able to see her liver.

Cathy will have blood work drawn tomorrow morning to determine the platelet count. It has to be at least 80k or he will not do the procedure because of the risk of bleeding. He also requested a typical liver serology (bloodwork.) 

We are grateful that this doctor was willing to see Cathy so quickly and perform the procedure in Fort Wayne. Please pray that these new tests will accurately provide the necessary information to determine the course of treatment.
