We
got Bub's test results back today. The one we were most anxious about was his APL. If
you remember about a month ago it was over 1300. Today it
was 216, which is well within the normal range.
They also tested his kidney, liver, glucose, lymphocytes, thyroid, vitamin D, and about thirty-five other things, all of which checked out great. If they're gonna prick my little guy (once in each arm since they didn't get a vein the first time), they better make it worthwhile and test for as many things as possible.
At this point I'm confidant that nothing is medically wrong with Bub. They've checked him out, they've run all the tests, and thankfully he's a healthy kid who just needs a little help in the calorie department. I still don't get why he doesn't like to eat, and maybe I never will. But until that glorious day when he picks up a cracker or a piece of string cheese and starts chowing down and then asking for more, we'll keep supporting him in every way possible.
I am also very happy to report Bub had no vomiting or issues of any sort with his tube today. No one really know why or how, but when we switch the tube to the other side it must irritate his throat or tummy (or both). But now that it's back in the "good nostril", he's had no problems.
Hip-Hip-Hooray!
