Adam had his latest ultrasound on Friday the 23rd. I got a little bit worried when the tech said she needed to go make sure she got all the pictures she needed (code for 'let me check with the radiologist on something') but when she came back without the radiologist, I felt better. So...we wait for his pediatrician to call for official results.
A nurse called tonight. His spleen is in the upper limits of normal to slightly enlarged. Not sure if that is any improvement from the last since all they said was mild splenomegaly last time. (Basically the same thing except no mention of ul of normal). In addition to that, he has a small enlarged lymph node in his liver. It could be normal or could mean liver problems. Uggh! Since all the rest of the findings were normal (no symptoms, no enlargement of liver, or masses found), we have to wait until his next ultrasound which is the end of August. His doctor is not in tomorrow but I sent a message asking if we should do a precautionary afp level. This is the blood test he used to get quarterly up until he turned 4 to check for liver issues. Just as we were seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, all these weird things keep popping up. Makes me want to continue ultrasounds for another couple of years instead of ending when he's 8.
