Biopsy Results

Hello. This post is brought to you by Liane (Shari's sister/Brady's aunt).

After Brady’s liver biopsy on Friday, February 1st, he was diagnosed with Giant Cell Hepatitis (GCH). When you combine GCH with Brady’s AIHA, the prognoses is poor. There will be a family meeting on Friday with Brady’s medical team and social worker, where Shari and Tim will learn more about this rare disorder and what the future holds. However, after doing some research of our own, the outcomes do not seem favorable. Here is a link to a case study that will explain this rare disorder better than I can:

Giant Cell Hepatitis with Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

It is important to remember that every case is different and there is no way of knowing how Brady’s body will respond to treatment. At this point Brady’s liver is stable, but things could change rapidly. You may not see a blog update for a while, as this is a very emotional time for Shari and Tim. They just need some time with their family to process this unsettling news. Please keep Brady in your prayers and never lose hope that our little fighter will get through this!
