MRA and Clinic Visit

Last week, on June 29, Reilly had an MRA (venogram) done at Tulane.  We are waiting for the results of that test and I will post as soon as I know what Dr. Noel says about them.  Yesterday, Reilly went for a clinic visit.  Dr. Noel is confident that we can wait 4 more weeks before doing another scope and possible banding!  This is dependent upon her blood test results, which should be in today.  She seems very stable and as long as she stays that way, we will try to wait as long as reasonably possible in between procedures.  There is no way of knowing, except through blood tests and through scopes, exactly how quickly the varices are forming in her esophagus.  I will post as soon as I know more information about the MRA and her blood work. 

Please continue to lift Reilly and our family up in your prayers.
