I thought this link would help elaborate on Weston's condition Biliary Atresia. Let us know if you have any questions. This link was provided by Weston's Aunt Lisa and explains everything fairly well. The only thing I would mention is the statistics concern babies under 3 months of age. However, we suspect Weston did have some bile flow prior to the Kasai. He had colored stool and the symptoms were slower to develop than most. So things are looking up and we have a very happy, giggling, active, and much more comfortable little boy!

Pause on the Blog...& Life for that matter!
Just as an update...we won't have too many pictures up for the next little while. Little Weston has a liver disease called Biliary Atresia. We have been in the hospital for the last two weeks going home sometime this next week. Grandma and Grandpa Briggs and mom and dad are taking turns staying at the hospital with the tough little guy. But Weston is doing much better than the doctors expected for discovering the disease two months later than they usually do. We love you all and appreciate all the support, love, and prayers we have received. They have been needed and felt. We'll keep you updated and hope to return to our normal lives soon!
