September 25th is the date set for Samuel's liver biopsy. Just five days before his 5th birthday. We will go over Thursday of that week to meet with the doctor performing the surgery and the anesthesiologist. Friday morning they will do the biopsy. And hopefully if everything goes according to schedule we will be able to leave Saturday.
Instead of going in once with a large needle to retrieve a piece of the liver (which is what I thought), they will make a small incision between his ribs and go in three times though that site. Mayo needs a larger amount of liver than what is normally taken during a regular biopsy. (Not so routine is it Kris?)
The stress of this, along with other issues going on with Sameul, has our home in "stress" mode right now. Please pray for us.
