Whew! Hoo!

Peeper's blood work is back, and her tyrosine level is almost down to normal!

The normal range is 20 - 102 (no idea what the units are). When she was 11 days old, hers was 700-something; this time it was 192!

So, she definitely just had the transient neonatal tyrosinemia, and definitely does not have a genetic metabolic disease of any sort!

They do need to see it actually in the normal range before they can give her the official "all clear" though, so they want us to go back in March to have it checked again.

That's the same time frame for looking at surgically repairing the heart defect if it's not resolving on it's own.

Let's hope things will be uneventful for the next couple of months, and both issues will resolve themselves by that point, then we can just get on with our lives.
