Praise Jesus! Judah does not have biliary atresia, so he won’t need surgery! His liver and bile ducts are working fine according to what they found in the liver biopsy.
The docs said they now will look into some other things to determine what is wrong with Judah’s direct bilirubin count. They are going to involve some hematologists (blood docs) to look at a possible connection between his low blood counts and his high bilirubin counts. They will also look more into viral causes, which had previously been dismissed (for good reason).
We are so thankful that God answered our prayers this way. Thank you all for praying and thinking about Judah. Please continue to pray for the docs that He would give them wisdom in finding the problem.
One of the interesting things about this, that they told us a while back, is that there are about 30% of these cases that just go away without them ever knowing why. I’m sure the Great Physician, Jesus, has a whole lot to do with that! We give Him all the praise for our news today, and we know that He has the power to put our little boy in that category. Do it Lord, we are praying!

Hi Brett,
I used to work with Jamie at Old Navy and have been trying to see how everything is going with Jamie and Judah from the girls there. It’s great that you started the blog for Judah! I’ve been keeping you all in my prayers. I’m so glad to hear that things seem to be moving in a positve direction. Please tell Jamie that if she needs anything just to call! When the timing is alright tell her to bring Judah over the Banana Republic for a visit! Best Wishes…Diana
