Sorry for taking a while to post. I took Meg to see her great grandparents one more time before surgery. She was feeling so good yesterday, but things went downhill fast today. She was so lethargic and was sweating heavily and turning blue around her mouth. We came home a day early. Once we got home and she saw her daddy she seemed fine. I think she's trying to give me a heart condition too!!!!!

We did hear from the surgeon's office today and have a new surgery date for 7/25 with a backup date in august. That's still a bit flexible.

I hope all of you are doing well. Hopefully she'll continue to feel good tonight and we can all rest well!

Hugs,

Tanya

Hi Tanya. When you did not post I was concerned that things were not going well. Isn't that terrible that we expect you to be tied to the computer and not have any life at all. Glad to hear that you did a normal thing even if she had a few problems. Still saying prayers for a great Mom and wonderful Megan.

I appreciate you wanting to hear. I should have posted that I was going out of town for a couple days. My husband's grandparents are still relatively healthy, but have a hard time getting around. He wanted me to take her down to see them before surgery. They just love her so much. it's about 3.5 hrs. away so we got dr. permission first. I'm glad they got to see her, but it's much easier to manage everything from home!!!

7/25 is for heart surgery. sorry I wasn't more specific. The surgeon is out of town until 7/17 on vacation, so we'll see what he says when he gets back. Part of me is anxious to get it over with and part is dreading it terribly. I guess it's coming either way.

Not at all. I just don't want you guys to get tired of hearing from me!!! Meg didn't have a great night with the choking. She had 2 spells where she started turning blue, but her color came back right as I was about to take her to the ER. I'm calling the cardiologist tomorrow to talk about all of this. She's sleeping a lot more and very lethargic. She also is breaking into sweats a lot for no apparent reason. We considered taking her to church this morning, but Jarod and Cole went on without us because she's just so tired and fussy. She's sleeping now. She just doesn't feel good very much anymore. I'm beginning to be really glad that they moved up surgery. I think she's telling us it's time.

Tanya,

You know, it's interesting that Megan was fine and flew threw the tests last week and now she's not doing well again. Could it be the hand of God saying, "no, the heart surgery need to be first"? I too like to have updates as you are able to post them. She sounds like a sweet little girl whom I wouldn't mind meeting if we were in your area (we are in WA state). Glad she's a fighter, that will help her continue to fight and get through surgery. Did I read right that she has to undergo surgery for her heart as she grows? May God continue to grant you and your family the strength to continue through this trying time. I'm sure you know this verse, but I want to end with it. "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matt 11-28-30. Also, "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved" Psalm 55:22 and "Casting all your care upon him for he careth for you" 1 Peter 5:7.

Thanks everyone for the support and prayers. I'm now glad they're moving it up too. Let's just get it over with since we know we have to do it anyway and I hope and pray it makes all the difference in the world in her health. Some of the drs. seem to think so. some don't, but I have faith that it will. I have to!

Thanks for the scriptures Andrea. I grew up in a small church and the first scripture was a song we often sang. It gives me comfort for sure. I wish we could meet too, but we're pretty much on opposite sides of the continent! I guess we're lucky to have met here.

Meg is so clingy now. She never wants me to put her down. I guess she's telling me she doesn't feel good. It's hard because I have to put her down to do some things, like pump. I would sit and hold her all the time if I could, though. Anything to make her more comfortable.

Well, I called the local cardiologist this morning and have a 10:00. I don't really like him, but he's the only one in town, so trying to work with him. Hopefully he'll have some answers as to why Meg is feeling so bad. She had another bad night and feels bad this morning. I'll let you all know what he says....

Just wanted to let you all know that we're back at Vandy. They want to observe Meg to see what may be going on. She's hooked up to everything now and not happy about it. so far she hasn't had any spells, so we'll see how long they want to observe her. Surgery may be iminent, but we don't know yet. They're doing lots of tests. Her surgeon is out of town until Sat., so I hope they can wait til then. The kitchen has been great about working with the dietary restrictions. I basically had a salad with lettuce and tomato tonight, but at least I knew it was safe! They really are kind about all of it. Thanks for the prayers. I feel like we're in the hurry up and wait game. I'll check back in tomorrow.

Boy Tanya, poor Megan. I don't want her to have another spell but I would rather she have one while she's hooked up so they can try and determine what is wrong. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you.

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By TraceyG · Posted

      @Wheatwacked thank you for checking in about choline. I do meet me recommended amount on a plant-based diet already, per my nutritionist. Thankfully, I am not intolerant to soy and the cruciferous veggies I enjoy!

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By TraceyG · Posted

      @Wheatwacked thanks for your input. I am fully committed to being gluten-free if I truly have celiac disease.  I suppose my question is more so wondering if that blood test means I definitely have celiac disease. I had one doc look at the results and tell me to ignore them if I don’t have the classic celiac symptoms. The next doc (a few months later, when viewing the same results) said the results were suspicious and might mean gluten sensitivity, but then had her nurse call me later the same day to say I actually have celiac disease based on the results. So my care team seemed a little unsure. It sounds like, from this forum, that the general consensus is any abnormal blood results indicate celiac.

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hello @TraceyG, welcome.    I know it is hard.  Giving up gluten is like losing a lifelong friend.  But in this case it is not a friend.   Your doctor is your friend and be thankful he is proactive with you. There is no need for the biopsy. Posistive is positive.  Unless you are looking for proof you are not.  Be sure to ask about vitamin and mineral deficiencies tests from the doctor. If you are vegan for the health benefits, reconsider. To get the daily Adequate Intake of Coline (between 500 mg and 3500 mg) you would need to eat 10 cups of cooked brocolli.      If you continue to eat gluten, even small amounts, it will come back on you.  You may experience up to 15 days of withdrawal from the gluten and cravings may be strong.  Gluten activates the opiod receptors, numbing you to the pain.  Gluten is addictive.  Gluten Addiction  Eating a little gluten is like playing with matches.      Recent statistics say 40% of first degree relatives have Celiac Disease, also.

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By TraceyG · Posted

      I would love some opinions. My Tis.Transglut.Ab IgA results were 29.9, with the normal range being 0-14.9.  My PCP said I have celiac disease, based on these results. I asked for a referral to GI, but they can't get me in for 6-9 months! I think I will start gluten-free now, and begin eating gluten again for at least 1 month prior to the biopsy. I know the GI biopsy is the gold standard, but is it reasonable for my PCP to diagnose celiac with just the blood results? I do not have classic celiac symptoms, but have struggled with some mystery peripheral neuropathy and joint pain for years now. Looking at symptoms, I have suspicion for family history of undiagnosed celiac (mom with lactose intolerance, aunts with sjogren's and non-hodgkin lymphoma). I am 39. I don't think I will be someone who can easily and quickly tell the difference in my body from not eating gluten (or getting glutened once gluten-free), so I feel that gluten-free trials will be tricky. If it's relevant, I surely consume smaller amounts of gluten and occasional bread, but my diet is vegan and fairly free of gluten (maybe why bloodwork numbers weren't higher?)

      Please do not consume this if you have celiac disease. One of the ingredients is barley.
