(HBOT 97) Liver Enzymes a bit High

Today was pretty uneventful. We had a good dive. Jonathan for some strange reason was very uncomfortable with the neck seal today. He told me that it hurt his neck. But after a little bit, he was fine. I think he was hypersensitive to touch today. After we finished, he asked me to take him to Tony's to get pizza. I played dumb but when we got the the street he said "mommy, don't forget to turn left to go to Tony's". So I did :)

I received an email from his DAN! Dr. letting me know that his CBC blood test results were in, and a few values were a bit high. His Creatinine is low and his BUN/Creatinine ratio is elevated. He said he is not concerned about that. But I need to understand what those values mean. Off to research :)

He also said that his Alkaline Phosphatast is 315 which is slightly above normal. But he believes that it can be explained by growth.

Lastly, and the one that is of a major concerned to me is the 3 liver functions - SGOT, SGPT, and GGT. The GGT is 30, which is elevated. The normal range is 3-22.

He said he does not want me to make any changes and he is not concerned right now, but he wants to re-test him in 3 months. But I can't take that passive attitude. I am going to start with a few Yasko alternatives. The Dr. thinks it might be the diflucan. I got his urine amino acids test results and it is showing very very high taurine. So I am going to attack that right away.

Lastly, today Larry King had a very nice segment about Autism with an autistic teenager that talked about his experiences and his book. It was on one hand very refreshing to know that a person with autism can accomplish so much and gave me a lot of hope. He is a very courageous young man with a positive attitude and optimistic. And on another hand, it was sad in my heart to see how hard it is for autistics to fit in. It brought a great deal of sadness to my heart. I know that Jonathan is going to have a rough life, and it is hard to see your child suffer. This boy received a lot of love and support from his family and because of that, he is high functioning and will someday be independent. I am proud of him and I wish the same for Jonathan.
