Can I Ask For A Prayer Too?

If anyone can say a prayer for my son I would greatly appreciate it. Tomorrow we head back to CHOP to see his cardiologist. He has a dialted aorta and we are hoping that he is growing into it. If he isnt he either will get put on medication, he will get a beta blocker, or if its too bad he will have to have the surgery.

My poor baby has gone thru so much already. I am praying that he doesnt need medication or surgery.

Thank you in advance to all of you who can include him in your prayers.

I will put him on our church prayer network, there are dozens of people praying every evening for the intentions that come through. I will also includ him in my prayers also.

Prayer said!

If it helps any, we were told this year that our son (who had open-heart surgery at 9 years ago) that he now has a dilated aorta and mitral valve prolapse. This was told to us by the doctor who replaced the cardiologist who had taken care of him since he was 7 weeks old.

We went back to the old cardiologist (who had moved 2 hours away), who disagreed with the new cardiologist. He said that since DS had had open-heart surgery through the aorta, it was expected that it appear slightly dilated, but that even so, he wouldn't call it a dilated aorta. He also went over measurements and definitions and explained in great detail why he didn't think DS had mitral valve prolapse, either.

Perhaps your cardiologist is being ultra-cautious? It might not hurt to get a second opinion. Our DS's cardiologist is in Danville,PA--pm me if you'd like his name--we've always thought he was wonderful. Good luck!

Please, everyone pray for our evie too . God bless her too.

COuld you update me on evie? I'm a little out of the loop, I'm afraid...

OK.. we are back from the doctors. Took a long time. The cardiologist said he is fine. The dialated aorta is still there, but on the Z scale ( um not quite sure what that is ) Colin is at a 3. A dangerous level is a 6 or more. He has been hanging on a 3 for a while now.

He had a rough time with the ultrasound. He was great in the beginning. Just watching the tech and seeing the screen, watching his heart beat. Then all of a sudden he started to cry out, such a heart wrenching cry, I almost started to cry. I just wanted to pick him up and comfort him. I am sure all you mothers out there know how I felt. Even though there is no pain in the procedure. He was scared and it ripped me to shreds.

But its all over. We dont have to go back to the cardiologist for 6 months this time! The first time was 3 months, the second 4 months, now 6!! moving right along!

Fiddle- I dont know how you did it with your child. I give you such great credit for going thru what you did.

I know how a sick child can make you feel and its a tough thing to go thru.

Thank you to everyone who said a prayer for Colin. Obviously they all helped!!! :)

You're doing pretty much the same things I did--go to the doctor, get nervous, fall apart when the baby cries, etc.

Did you ever find out why he cried?

No, he just got upset. He didnt like being held there I imagine. When he was just a baby, 3 months early, he was a lot more cooperative with all their procedures. Now that he is getting older he realizes what is going on around him. And he just plain old doesnt like it!!!

      Waiting on camera test

      By mariamccl · Posted

      Hi all,  I'm a 25 year old female. My mum and uncle both have celiac disease. I have suspected celiac disease but blood test came back negative. I was on the waiting list to see a gastroenterologist but it was 73 weeks waiting so I've decided to pay to get a camera done which is happening next month - I can't wait to get some answers. I feel like I'm going crazy and just want some reassurance. My symptoms are constipation and diarrhea - nothing in between. Headaches almost every day that have progressed to migraines now. I start feeling extreme fatigue at around 4-5pm every day along with dizziness, muscles weakness, shaking, heart racing. My mental health has declined and I just feel like I'm losing my mind. I'm at the point now that I want a diagnosis so I can at least feel better even if it is life changing. Today I've started to feel what I can only explain as a lump in my throat like I haven't fully swallowed something. It's quite painful especially when I eat. It goes away and then comes back. Feels like my symptoms are getting worse and worse and I just want to feel like myself again. I hope some people can relate to these experiences - I feel like up until I paid to go privately no one has listened to me or taken me seriously.   Thanks x

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Are there any things that you enjoy eating that you can have gluten-free versions of? For example, pizza, mac & cheese, pasta, etc? If so, perhaps try to include those in your diet more until your appetite recovers. Of course cannabis is famous for improving appetites, but I would only go that direction if you have serious weight + appetite issues that you can't solve via other methods.

      Thanks for the follow up, and at least you know the cause of your health issues and can now start working towards better health! This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
