Aiden

Well...we got some of the results of the blood testing today...and they were pretty good. Everything was at normal levels. His liver appears to be fine. He does not have Hepatitis. Thank goodness! They noticed something in his white blood cells. It showed that there was either a food allergy or a parasite that was causing him to be sick. For right now we have to watch what we give him carefully until we figure this out. We have to remove dairy from his diet for a little while. If he ever has a BM they are going to do more parasite testing. The funny thing is...every day for the last several weeks he has had normal bowel movements. Usually one to two a day. On Thursday before going to the doctor's office, he had about 10. They sent us home with some vials to collect stool so that he they could test for parasites and wouldn't you know it??? He just won't give us what we need. Our guess is that he will have one at 11:45 tomorrow. We won't be able to use it then because the lab closes at 12, which means we won't be able to collect anything tomorrow or most of the day Sunday. I think he is secretly laughing inside knowing that he is in control right now!!! Anyway, the news we got today was good...nothing major was found. Now we just have to watch his diet again, which we are used to and we have to get our stool sample. Wish us luck!!!

The mystery beings. Is it weird that I find this oddly fascinating?
