Good grief Eric! I haven't logged on in a while and I am shocked to hear what is happening with Caryn. What a kick in the gut for you both. Sometimes I think we underestimate the vitality of our liver and all the things it does for us; like digest fat for one How disheartening for Caryn to have difficulty swallowing; and then her port infection - ugh, when it rains it pours. I hope her bilirubin has continued to drop. Please keep us posted.
Love Kim from CT
