We arrived in SLC that night about 11 pm.
The next morning we got up and headed to the hospital. We got checked in and they put us right into a room. The Dr. Guthrey came in and met us and explained the tests that would be run and what they were looking for and what some of the possibilities could be. He explained it could be anything from an infection to swelling to something more serious called biliary atresia which would require surgery.
Alivia did really well with everything. She didn't like the IV being inserted. She just seemed a little annoyed with the monitor cords hanging off her. They came and drew blood and then she was required to fast for 4 hours before having the ultrasound. She was ticked off that we couldn't feed her and was thrilled when they let us feed her during the ultrasound. Later that evening, Dr Guthrey came in and told us that the tests and ultrasound were not really difinitive, but they were suspecting that it was biliary atresia. They ordered a biopsy of her liver for the next morning.
