Well today Christopher's outing consisted of visiting with Dr. Kirby. Unfortunately, there is nothing they can do about the swelling in his abdomen, legs and feet. As Dr. Kirby explained it, the water is surrounding individual cells, so they couldn't drain the fluid. Dr. Kirby also informed Christopher that he does not qualify for the clinical trials due to his liver failure. Dr. Kirby said his blood pressure was on the high side, but with the exertion it took for Christopher to actually get into the doctor's office, that was to be expected. He checked his lungs, and there is no fluid in his lungs which is a very good thing.
Christopher's will is unbelievable and even has the doctor and his staff in awe. He will be seeing Dr. Kirby on a weekly basis so that Dr. Kirby can monitor him.
Right now Christopher is taking a much deserved nap, while Ethan, Denise, Marcus, Addison and I sit in the den watching the kids eat oreos and color!
