Official Diagnosis


All the tests came back and the final diagnosis is...
Gilbert's syndrome. It is an inherited disorder of the liver that results in an overabundance of a substance known as bilirubin. Other names for this mainly unharmful disorder are constitutional hepatic dysfunction and familial nonhemolytic jaundice, just in case you wanted some real medical terminology to snack on.
Blood tests will be taken again in a month or so to see how he is doing, but nothing else to do at this time.
Our next test will be to see if there is a medical explanation for why he acts so weird. Chances are, we will never find out.

I'm pretty sure that acting so weird is genetic too. Love the blog--when I finally join the technical world I'll have to get a blog page too
