Hooray!

On Monday we took Eliza in to a kidney specialist to get the blood work done again for RTA. I was so grateful they were able to get us in so quickly. She didn't love the appointment-not one bit! But she survived it & with Rick & I both holding her down they were able to get her blood draw done by only having to poke one arm & much more quickly than at the pediatricians.

Here is our cute little patient waiting patiently for her appointment. She really loves to read!

Today we had her follow up appointment where they gave us the results. It was great! Her potassium levels were much more normal, everything was normal, & her CO2 levels were 22! Perfect! Here she is celebrating her perfectness with a cookie! That made her super happy!

I'm so grateful that she is fine & we're not going to have to get her blood drawn every month for the next few years & that I don't have to touch the yucky medicine. The doctor was very funny in how she told me she would send the results to our pediatricians with a nicely worded letter telling them that how these tests are drawn often give false positives & would be better if they suspect something to send them to a specialist to begin with or to change how the run the test. It made me laugh. But for now we are going to be grateful that she is healthy & growing at her own rate. We think she is perfect!
