last monday, jc was confined to the hospital to undergo blood transfusion after the doctor saw the ultrasound and blood test results. we weren't informed about the gravity of the situation... we somehow knew about it already for the past weeks or so. and so yesterday when the doctor visited, we somehow knew what it was about. jc has something wrong with his liver. the doctor ruled out biliary atresia because he has a gland that is connected to the liver. the biliary atresia is without it. but he has something about hepatitis in his liver. what's dangerous is he went on with this untreated for six months, whereby that would entail him to undergo liver transplant, that's not even available here in the philippines. so when dr. guno showed jc's results, she told us it was slow and another transfusion is needed. we need to have his liver something normalized to 12 but at that point, the difference is about 9 even after the first blood transfusion. after that, my sister in law moi and my brother andy kind of broke down. we all comforted each other and prayed the rosary... for the first time, i heard my brother utter those prayers he kept to himself. i texted friends to pray... and i'm glad that they did because today, it normalized already. jc can go home na. and next year, jc will undergo liver biopsy so the doctors can know what the real problem is so we can give him the healing he needs. The battle isn't over yet... but with prayers, and with our faith in God... i know somehow, it will.
