Our pediatrician wanted us to meet with a GI/liver specialist about the spot on his liver as it has not changed size and he wanted a second opinion on if further imaging is needed, so mom took Quinlan out to MGH West today to see Dr. Biller. He had already consulted a colleague and their radiologist regarding the imaging that had already been done. They all concluded that if the spot on his liver was more than just a cluster of blood vessels it would have spread, and that we did not need more imaging for another year!
The MD was more concerned about Quinlan's lack of bowel movements and put him on over the counter MiraLax instead of the Lactulose. Within a day on the MiraLax, Quinlan began to have regular bowel movements 2-3 times a day... and even at 1 AM, something his parents had not anticipated or missed out on.
