O's Blood Test Results

Good news: I'm crazy!

That said, the superstitious side of me still holds out waiting for something weird to show up. Nonetheless, here's the scoop. Our doctor called shortly after my last post (I'm sorry. This is my first opportunity to post). He said overall, O's results were very good. He does have one bit of concern with O's glucose levels because they fell just above the normal range. But, he does not think it's necessary to put O through anymore testing at this time. We'll simply keep an eye on O's weight and if no other issues develop, we'll wait to test his glucose again in a year or more.

Our doctor thinks that O might have had a virus coupled with the possibility of seasonal allergies and developing skin issues. N gets severe eczema and she has a peanut allergy. N also is currently being treated with steroids and nebulizer treatments for wheezing that hopefully will not one day be diagnosed as asthma. I also have allergies and asthma. So, our doctor thinks because this is a bad year for pollen, etc., O is reacting to that and he likely suffers from the same allergens as N and I.

For now, I'm satisfied and relieved. O is eating again, although not a lot. O never eats a lot. He's feeling better and his skin doesn't appear as rashy. I know I'll always worry about every one of my children, but at least now I have the blood test to prove O is alright. Now, the girls need to line up for their tests! I'm kidding.
