Update From Hatch

Jason spoke with Dr. Hatch this morning and we have an update.
Biopsies probably won't be back until tomorrow so we don't know
for sure yet......But, he's actually thinking it's NOT going to show
Celiac Disease, it's going to show something different. Reason being:
He has been on gluten free diet for a good 5 days now and he still
hasn't perked up, is losing weight rapidly, hasn't had a bowel movement
since Wed......so they're gonna keep us til they can figure this out.
He also did not test highly positive to gluten and wheat on the labs.


Gabe perked up for about a half hour this morning and spent some
good quality time with Daddy. I got sick in the middle of the night
and still not feeling up to par, so I could ask for prayers for me
to be healthy again, i would be so grateful.


A big thank you to Dr. Austman for calling and checking on us this morning.
I remember some of the docs I used to work for that would call and check
on their patients personally (instead of having their nurses call)I thought
they were the most caring ones in the world. And giving out
their home phone numbers!??!?! These are the good docs and we are so
blessed they are ours.

Happy Monday.....Love n Hugs....Laura

Laura, Continuing to pray for you guys. Hope that you're feeling better - you definitely don't need any bugs right now! When we prayed for you last night, Elena said that Gabe was already better! So maybe she knows something that we don't! Hang in there. Big hugs to you all!
Love ya,
Jane
