Medical Results

I had bloodwork last week and the results are in. All looks healthy on the liver front. My labs are all within normal limits. My doctor says I should stay on 100mg of azathioprine. Here are the stats:

ALT: 12
AST: 26
IgG: 1133

Speaking of healthy livers.....I never gave you the update on Molly's marathon run for the liver. She wasn't my official patient match, but I did get to know her through the liver team and she often referred to me as her honorary patient match. She was constantly reminding me that she was running for me as well. Molly is super enthusiastic and was honored with being named "Rookie of the Year" by the liver team. This is well deserved. She finished the marathon in 5:25:24. Congratulations Molly! You are "wicked" awesome!

Molly also told me about the Marathon Minute podcast. Early on I had joked that Molly should record a podcast documenting her training. She told me that two liver team members (Peter and Eliza) were already doing it. I was so psyched and subscribed right away. I do not know either Peter or Eliza, but I enjoyed listening to their weekly podcast. The marathon is over, but Marathon Minute is still worth checking out. They are currently working on a three part marathon day re-cap series.

My mom had a colonoscopy recently. She is cancer free, but they did see that she has significant diverticulosis. We were disappointed to hear the news. They said there is a good chance that she will need surgery at some point as a result. Looks like my mom won't be eating seeds any time soon.
