More Results, More Questions

The Eosinophilic GI doctor from Cinci called yesterday to give us some more test results. First, the disaccharide intolerance test (explained at post below) came back negative. The doctor wants to test Bryce for Celiac Disease just so we can rule it out as a possibility. From Bryce's blood work came a few things that we need to follow-up with his pediatrician. His white blood cell count was somewhat low so we need to get more labs. Also, a liver enzyme named ALT came back a little elevated so we need to repeat this test. The doctor also suggested that Bryce be evaluated for seizures -- just in case that is what is causing his waking.

Although the results sound scary at first, we're really not too worried right now. We'll definitely follow-up on the labs just to rule out anything but we're not going to be real aggressive about the seizure possibility. To be honest, we are a little tired of doctors and putting our baby through so many tests. Once the official results from Cinci get here, we'll consult with Bryce's pediatrician and go from there. Right now, we just want to let Bryce be a kid and start eating food.
