Praise!

We went to the Dr. Childrens' last week.  Her pediatrician had ordered such an amazing blood panel to be drawn, that the Dr. didn't need to do any further testing. (no more needle pricks BIG PRAISE!)  My little bug was asymptomatic (showing no symptoms), so at this point, the blood tests show a very low ana and a moderately low SSB which can be an indicator for Sjoegren's syndrome.  He was very thorough and spent a lot of time with us going through family history and such.  He didn't want to pigeon hole her into a diagnosis because it may just never develop.  He said that her finger problem could have been triggered by a virus & the symptoms looked similar to some of the symptoms of scarlet fever and may not have anything to do with any kind of auto-immune thing.  We will be going back to him every 6 months for the next two years, during which time, we will be journaling any eye/sweat/stomach/joint problems & calling in for any flare-ups.  She is currently on a regular diet & we will see what happens.  She is doing very well & was super chill all day.  We are all very thankful for all of the prayers over the past couple weeks.  We certainly felt peace covering over us all day.  We really like this doctor very much, and are blessed to have the health care to be able to take care of her.  I'll keep you updated as we go along.  She is back to her happy-go-lucky, baby-loving, quick-witted funny self & we are praising God! :o)
