Another Asher Update

Well, it's been a while since I updated on the heath and all of my sweet baby boy. We had an appointment with the GI Specialist on Oct. 2nd and she ordered some MORE bloodwork for him which was done on Oct. 10th. We also had tests for his neutropenia that he had a month or so ago. That was done on Oct. 10th as well. Well, we got a call from the GI Specialist tonight stating that the test for the Celiacs Disease that we thought he had was negative (which is a HUGE praise), but one of the tests showed that he was not getting enough Vitamin D, basically she said that something in his liver was not normal on the blood tests that they did she just wants to re-do that test. But his nuetrophil level was still at a normal level, but they are still going to monitor his levels on a consistant basis to make sure that everything is okay. I am relieved, but also still nervous, because they were able to rule out the Celiacs Disease, but yet, they are still doing tests to figure out what is going on really. He also has a follow-up appointment with his pediatrician on Fri., Oct. 24th to discuss the results of his bloodtests, and order more tests for his Vitamin D level and all that. Fun huh?
Well, pray for his more test we have to put him through as he is at the point now that he kicks and screams and throws a fit because he knows what is coming.
