Today's appointment with the diagnostic dr was just a start... he got her basic info and will begin reading her file and doing research. They drew blood to check her ferritin level (iron) and she has gone from a 7 to 25!! Yipee! They recommend we ask Dr. Kotagal to get her off the supplement so they can see if she will "lose" the iron again, or if her body will stabilize it. He checked her CBC (basic blood test), everything came back normal, as always. They sent blood off to Mayo for heavy metal testing and for a chromosomal test for Ataxia telangiectasia. {We are praying that doesn't come back positive... it is a rough one, and life long} The last two being sent off to Mayo will take a week or so to get back. I will keep you all posted, as always

3 friends had to say...:
That's great that her ferritin level increased! It really stinks that you have to WAIT SO LONG for results. Continuing to pray for Reese and your family!
still praying...
Still praying too... sounds like he is at least willing to keep going and try a couple of things!
Thanks positive!
