The HIDA scan results came back showing that there is a blockeage leading into the bile duct, however, it was unclear with what is causing the block and where it is. One would think that it is not a congenital defect such as a narrowing, since he wasn't jaundice from the beginning and is instead something that has grown and pushed against his liver causing the sudden problem and jaundice. The next step would be to do an invasive diagnostic test, such as a liver biopsy. They want his heart and liver team to work together. We are off to UCSF tomorrow to do blood work, another ultrasound and go from there. The clinic is normally closed so we are very grateful they are taking Tyler and running these tests STAT which hopefully mean they will figure out the problem tomorrow. Heart cath is still planned for tuesday so we shall see. Keep little Tyler in your prayers.
