The latest on David's health is that he is still sick. His liver statistics continue to be out of control, yet he is consistently testing negative for hepatitis A, B, and C, though he hasn't been tested for D-F. The next stop will be the UM GI clinic. In the meanwhile, I'm trying hard not to tease him too much. You see, the most bizarre symptom of his illness is that his skin has become rather yellow. Quite yellow, if truth be told -- kind of like a highlighter. When he first noticed it, he remarked that he looked like Bart Simpson, though given his hair, he might actually look more like Homer. Our friend Alex remarked that if I came down with hepatitis also, we could go out as Homer and Marge Simpson, though I would have to dye my hair blue and put it WAY up. It could be kind of fin. For now, though, David is pretty self conscious about being the only yellow person in the family, so he is mostly dressing in black and we got him a Tigers cap to wear when he goes out.

How distressing. I hope that his doctors are taking this very seriously -- hepatitis isn't the only thing that can cause his symptoms!

Poor David! I hope they figure it out soon.
