Carissa went to the doc's office yesterday for a checkup with the GI and all is well for now. There had been blood drawn on a previous visit to do gene testing to try and find the abnormal gene that causes Alagille's syndrome, all tests came back as unremarkable.
The doc is talking about entering us into the Pittsburgh Alagille's gene study in order to try and identify the root cause (or locate the) abnormal gene. According to Kendra, she likened it to reading War and Peace and having one word in the middle of the book changed without affecting the entire story. In other words can you say Needle in a haystack?
She also said that there is a chance that this may be a new type of mutation so cross your fingers that we don't become guinea pigs in order to get someone published!!!!!!!
Well the doc is happy with her growth, she's 13lbs5oz. and 24and3/4" long cute as a button and grinnin with teeth. The brothers love her when it's convenient for them so all is well in the tnkilgores houshold so until next time I bid you all farewell

As you can see Carissa is enjoying her first true romantic moment. With baby food in the near future I feel this will be a match made in heaven.........and the dog will enjoy it to

Due to much demand

We have now joined the crew after a few requests to do so. Hopefully I'll find the time to keep up with this. It should help to keep everyone posted about Carissa's health issues as well. Alyssa I'm on the Bandwaggon to so don't feel like you riding down that road alone. I'm at work right now so I'll post more later.
