short update




Kai had another appointment with the liver team today. His bilirubin level went up very quickly over the past week. They were less concerned with his liver enzyme levels and his general demeanor (varies between easily amused and laughing hard enough to poop his pants). But all things considered we need to plan for the worst and hope for the best, in his doctor's words. Since he is currently too small for living donation, he is going on the transplant list. We meet with the transplant coordinator tomorrow and begin his work up to go on the list. We will know more of the details tomorrow.
