MEGAN UPDATE

MONDAY, JULY 31, 2006 09:47 PM, CDT

Still no fevers! She had her pacing wires removed today, so the only thing she's attached to now is her heart and O2 monitors and the feeding tube (which she was attached to before surgery)!!! The nurse let Cole help with removing the pacing wires, which made him feel very important.

She had a really good day and seems to be feeling so much better than before surgery. One doctor who saw her when we were here a couple weeks ago just kept commenting on the difference. She couldn't believe it. She said it usually takes longer for kids to look good, so we're thankful for that.

A family that at Ronald McDonald House just had surgery today and isn't doing well and had to be put back on the heart lung machine tonight. His name is Will Ray. Please pray for him and his parents, Fred and Amy.

Thanks for everything!

Love to all - Jarod, Tanya, Cole, and Megan Hope

:) This is truly a miracle how fast she is recovering. The power of many praying people and her strong little spirit. I will certainly be praying for little Will and Fred and Amy. Thank you for the great news on Megan. Cole is so precious too. What a great little "big brother."

Megan continues to do so well. We are so blessed. On doctor said we may even get to go home today, but probably by tomorrow at least. I'll let you know as we find out more.

WHOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!

I will be saying lots of prayers for Will and his family.

I just found this on Megan's site:

Tanya asked me to do an update... they are going home today!!!! Praise God. She said it will most likely be later on before they are released but they are going home today.

Tanya and family,

So happy that Megan will go home so soon! That is wonderful she is feeling so much better. I am sure it is such a relief to have her playing again and smiling.

Will pray for the little boy Will that isn't doing well. I stayed in R. McDonald house when my son had surgeries. The greatest part is having other families that are going through the same thing you are and can totally relate and it makes you feel as if you are not alone.

Take care,

Monica

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion.

      Is it gluten?

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
