This will make more sense to you DS moms and families out there... I apologize for the cryptic nature, but you'll have to trust my reasoning.
Braska had a lab draw on Tuesday last week. The GI called me Wednesday and said there were some significantly elevated levels in the results. Ok fine. Not like we've never had an abnormal lab. But then he used *those* words...the C word and the L word. Said he'd be talking to hem/onc. We needed to go redraw on Friday morning. We didn't freak or anything, but when I hung up the phone, I thought, "Wow, so that's what it's like the first time they mention it."
We took her for her draw again on Friday morning, and we figured everything was fine since we got no call over the weekend. Yesterday I checked in with them. Dr. R confirmed that everything was clear, almost in a "weird way," but they checked with the lab to make sure it was a viable result. All is well. Follow up in 6 months as usual unless there are concerns.
We're thankful every day, and especially so now.

Great news! Glad all turned out well.
ReplyDeleteOMG - start out with the "all is well" next time, will ya?! Hug Braska for me - can we see you soon? please?
ReplyDeleteGOOD!
ReplyDeleteI was worried after you posted about the labs being redone. If celiac & thyroid are ok, well. I know what's left.
SO GLAD Braska's okay.
my heart was in my throat for a moment, can't imagine what your heart did - so very happy to hear the good news and very thankful!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, RK! I am so glad that turned out the way it did!!! I was quite worried for a minute there. I am so glad all is ok.
ReplyDeleteGlad the tests came back okay! So much to be thankful for!
ReplyDelete(Heart in throat too)...H-o-l-y moly! Thank God for the 2nd draw.

So glad the 2nd test was ok. Give Braska big loves for me! Aunt Valerie
ReplyDeleteOh, man. I was worried about those letter words when you said the results were funky the other day.
ReplyDeleteSo, so glad all is well.
Actually, last week when you told me you had to go redraw because of abnormal results, I went home and freaked and told John, "They aren't telling me she has leukemia because they know I will freak." So I freaked all week until I read this post.
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, not freaking me out, freaks me out.
Oh, you people are freaks. We can always make more. Heck we got one coming in February. How many kids does one family need?
ReplyDeleteI remember thinking I was bullet proof after all that Larkin has been through until I sat in Hematology/Oncology. Lonely place to be but they take care of us. Glad all is well. Muncher - God knows you make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteoh, RK...!!! I'm so glad all is ok. my heart nearly stopped when i first started reading - God is good. And in control. Much love and massive massive hugs to that little girl of yours :o)
ReplyDeleteI am SO glad it all turned out well in the end. I'm sure that was a scary moment.
ReplyDeletesuch a relief!!! and i agree...start out with everything is okay!
ReplyDeletehey...and i'm sorry i didn't get to meet up with you all. henry got sick and it was not the best visit. :(
I'm trying to get my heart beating again and not cry like a baby at work! I'm so glad it all turned out well. ((HUGS!!!))
ReplyDeleteSCARY! SO glad everything is ok! I hate the L word!
