She also has parvo-virus (common child-hood problem that generally does not need treating) and a whopping case of mono which is probably the culprit for the elevated liver enzymes. As far as the blood clot in the portal vein: they discovered that her "S" protein level is low. This is a genetic factor that predisposes to clotting disorders so her doc thinks we all need to be tested to see who is at risk.

Anyway, husband is home for the weekend so can help with childcare and laundry and meal prep. He works 12 hour shifts a half hour away as a firefighter and paramedic.

Oh...to top it off...she's 8 weeks pregnant so they have to be very cautious as to how they treat all of this.
