Test Results

Zane remains an enigma—at least his symptoms and what they mean do.

His pediatrician called yesterday to say the tests all came back normal. A couple of visits ago, I asked whether or not Zane’s soy formula could be the source of his troubles; perhaps he developed an allergy or intolerance to it over time. She wanted to take one step at a time—which is totally understandable. Now that the tests shows no obvious gastrointestinal issues, she is pursuing that line of thought. She sent a prescription to Zane’s health supply company for a change in formula. The company has to obtain insurance approval, so we won’t have anything until next week. He is going to give EleCare Jr. a try. It is a hypoallergenic formula for kids who have food allergies and the symptoms Zane has exhibited. I’m looking forward to giving it a try. I sure hope it works because the next step will include seeing a GI specialist in Denver.

Keep good thought and fingers crossed, please.
