Wow! How did I miss all this happening???? Thanks for the link Vincent, so I can get caught up on what's going on......

Firstly, Vincent, what can I say? You are an amazing human being and I think this is a perfect example of how God uses us mere mortals as his guardian angels to help do His work. You truly are a guardian angel. He truly does work in mysterious ways.......

My thoughts will be with this beautiful child and will be praying REALLY, REALLY strong for her......

I also have tears in my eyes just reading through the thread and realizing once again how amazing the people here are and just how much you can be counted on when the chips are down and when someone needs friends to lean on.....

God bless you all........

Hugs.

Karen

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!

This is form her site, her sister posted this...

TUESDAY, JULY 25, 2006 08:10 AM, CDT

Just heard from Tanya, they have just taken Megan back. They had given her some medicine to make her loopy, and she was. Tanya said that they would let them know something in 1 hour - 1.5 hours after they got the IV's in; at this point they would start the procedure. It should take around 5-6 hours. I will post every time I get an update.

Tanya just called and said that they made the incision about 10 minutes ago. It took them a while to get the IV's started because of veins. But they did say that she went to sleep very peacefully. They are going to give them updates in another 1-2 hours

UPDATE UPDATE UPADATE!!

TUESDAY, JULY 25, 2006 11:34 AM, CDT

Just got another call from Tanya. She said she talked to one of the nurses. The nurse said that everything was going just wonderful right now. It was one of the smoothest surgeries that they had seen. They planned on taking their time so it would be another 3-4 hours before they were done.

WOOHOO!!!!!

MEGAN UPDATE !!

TUESDAY, JULY 25, 2006 12:30 PM, CDT

Tanya called with another update: Everything is still going really they are in the process of repairing the VSD (which is the hole in the heart). They have her on the by pass machine. They still have to replace the shunt and enlarge the pulmonary arteries (not sure if this is 1 or more than 1, sorry, I just don't have any medical sense). She still has a long way to go, but thankfully, she is doing so well.

WOW!!!

TUESDAY, JULY 25, 2006 02:05 PM, CDT

Just got word from Nashville, the surgery is over and Megan is doing really well. The cardiologist had came out and talked to Jarod and Tanya. He told them that the surgery went really well. The surgeon had just came out and said that they were able to do everything that they had wanted to do and that he was very pleased. Her oxygen saturation level was 100% (which is what normal is). Now is the wait and see process. They will have to let her body heal and get regualted. Prayers have definitely been the power source today.

They would transfer Megan up to PICU. After she got settled there, Jarod and Tanya could see her. Tanya anticipated that this should take about an hour or so.

Thanks so much to everyone for all of their prayers. I know I appreciate them for my beautiful little neice, and her parents even more so than me.

      Pretty desperate for some guidance

      Pua, do you understand that genetic testing cannot be used as proof of having celiac disease as it only establishes the potential to develop active celiac disease? About 40% of the population has the genetic potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. However, it can be used as a rule out measure.

      Does 101gl mean. I have celiac desease

      Welcome to the forum, @Marilyn1941! As Wheatwacked explained, we need more information. There are a number of blood antibody tests that can be run to detect celiac disease. Some are more meaningful than others in the sense of positive results being due to celiac disease or possibly due to something else. So, knowing exactly what test the score you gave...

      Pretty desperate for some guidance

      When my son was weaned in 1976 he was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. My mom said at the time. "you got what you gave." His doctor insisted on Nutramigen as the only hyperallergenic baby formula with full nutrition. After 6 months he was weaned to gluten free diet. It seems it still has that status. He has grown strong and well.

      Does 101gl mean. I have celiac desease

      Hi @Marilyn1941, Welcome to the forum. There is not enough info to go on. What test name? What are the results and the laboratory's normal range they used? Why were you tested? What kind of symptoms? Age, sex and country would be helpful but not necessary.

Some are more meaningful than others in the sense of positive results being due to celiac disease or possibly due to something else. So, knowing exactly what test the score you gave is referring to would be helpful. In addition, the ranges and units of measure used by different labs differs from one lab to another. There is no industry standard for these. So, we would need to know the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for that test used by the lab who did the analysis. And was there only that one test ordered by the physician?
