EXCERPT FROM EMAIL TO A FRIEND – THE MOTHER OF ANOTHER LITTLE GIRL WITH BILIARY ATRESIA

She sent an email asking how Shane was going with his hunt for a cause of Rose's pancreatitis.

“Our specialist has us not really focusing on the lipase theories - basically because she says it doesn't change the management of Rose in any case. I think Shane needed a bit of a breather from all the heavy scientific detective work anyway, but I reckon he'll get back onto it if needed.


The aim is still: grow, keep well, and transplant. The transplant team want her to be 8 kilograms. Blow me down, she seems to be starting to put on some weight.”
