GOOD NEWS!!!

Six months after Kamryn got diagnosed we were told that she would be at a high risk for thyroid problems and celiac disease. The last time we were at the diabetes clinic they drew her blood to test her for them. The day after we found out we were having twins her Dr. called and said that she had a positive marker for the celiac disease. This is basically an allergy to anything containing flour, which is everything. We were devestated because we have family members with it and she is already restricted enough with the diabetes. They said the only way to confirm it is with a biopsy of her small intestine (which includes more pokes, iv's etc.) Our pediatrician said there is another test to run in conjunction with the first one. If this test comes back normal we would not have to do the biopsy unless she shows symptoms. We did the test almost two months ago but could not get the results. Today we were at the lab and I finally decided we needed to find out. THEY WERE NORMAL!! We put it off for so long because we didn't want to know. We are SO relieved!!
