Today we met with the liver specialist. Emily has TPN Cholestatis from being on TPN (Intravenous provision of nutrients when enteral intake is inadequate or impossible) for so long in the NICU. She is very jaundiced and her liver and spleen are enlarged. She is on medication for this and hopefully it will clear up in the next several months. This was however, the WORST doctors appointment I have ever had. We waited almost 3 hours with a crying hungry infant before we saw the doc. We won't be going back there.
