Megan had a pretty good day today. We've been very busy packing. Our preacher came by and annointed her. My parents are here and Jarod's parents will meet us in Nashville tomorrow to help with Dr. appts. So far we're not in Ronald McDonald House, but hopefully we will tomorrow. Thanks to all of you for the constant prayers and support you have given. You are each a blessing to our family. Check the webpage for further updates!

Love and Hugs,

Tanya

In case you forgot she is putting updates on : Open Original Shared Link

Heres the lastest entry...

FRIDAY, JULY 21, 2006 01:25 PM, CDT

I just heard from Megan's surgeon's office and the time of her surgery has been changed to 7:45 am next Tues (7/25). I'm not sure what happened to the baby scheduled before her, but please remember that family in prayer too.

She has a preop appt. at 1:15 on Monday, so we'll spend the night in Nashville. I pray we get into Ronald McDonald House. It's such a wonderful resource. It's full of families in similar situations and all the love you can imagine.

Megan seems to feel better today than she's felt in a long time. I'm glad she's feeling more like playing.she's been using her dress to play Peek-a-Boo and it's just adorable.

Thanks for all the messages and phone calls. We appreciate all the love, prayers and concerns from all of you. Hugs to all!

UPDATE UPDATE UPADTE

I just got off the phone with TCA. I read her the gist of the posts her and she said your all very sweet. :D They are in a hotle beucase there is no room in the Ron Mcdonal house right now, so they are on a wiating list.

Megan is doing well, she has GAINED SOME WIEGHT EVEN!! :) She is 17 pounds, 13 oz!Theres a team of docs treating her for this and one of them is a bit concerned about one of the "stats" being at 70% but other then that it looks like a good for surgry first thing tommorow am. They need to be there at 6am for it. Her step mom will be staying with Cole in the hotel so that both Mom and Dad cna go in with Megan.

After the surgy Megan will be in Pedi Intensive Care for "couple" of weeks then moved to a regular room.

After the surgry she will call her sister, and her sister will update Megan's site with teh most current info, so make sure your watching that tommorow.

Thats everything I know at this time!

END UPDATE!

Well it's 12:13 on the 'big day' I pray your sleeping sounding while we're sending our love and prayers.

Went and spent some time with the 'stars' and now holding (after i finish typing) my mustard seed.

I too will set my alarm for your 6:00 am 'send off' into the journey toward good health and healing, little megan. You are one precious little child to us all.

love

Judy

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve. thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies. Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree. Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant. That may happen even with endoscopy. Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end...

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1. Genetic testing. Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With...

In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
