i am sorry for your daughter's illness. i know that it is a scary time for you and your family. the waiting period is the worst and should end soon. it sounds like she may have hepatitis a. hepatitis a is primarily contracted by eating or drinking contaminated food or beverages containing the hepatitis a virus. the news is essentially positive in that treatment usually consists of 3 months or so of bed rest with most people making a full recovery within 6 months. it also seems that the doctors are appropriately covering all bases by asking a surgeon to review the mri results. yes the viewing of some undistinguishable object next to the liver is worrisome but it could end up being a benign and non-issue. at this time it is difficult not knowing the complete results of the mri for your precious daughter. based upon her young age having a supportive mother and doctors that are investigating all possibilities i'm rooting for and predicting a positive outcome.
hepatitis in a 7 year old girl. pooping and peeing blood went in to the hospital and they have been performing various tests to see what is the issue and where is it coming from. after several blood tests and mri scanning they have found that her liver is inflamed (hepatitis hepatomegaly) and her blood liver count is quite high. they also found something next to her liver but yet can't seem to pin point the problem exactly. the doctor wants to pass on her imagining to a surgeon to get further input and opinions. advice?
