Also, I would think that the biopsy would have showed cirrhosis or fibrosis if she had it, but again maybe that small sample wasn't enough?
I would think it would've showed cirrhosis but maybe not MVD. The pathologist never said she thought it was too small but I guess she should've taken more than one.

I am a bit nervous right now because Ellie ate 1/2 hour ago and is shaking under a blanket (so she isn't cold) a tiny bit. It was beef too (I know I have to change now). I thought I noticed her shaking a few times after eating but nothing major so I have just written it off.
