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.

You, him, and the rest of your family will be in my prayers. I really do understand. Feel free to PM me if I can help in ANY way. My daughter just had her 2nd open heart surgery, so I'm here if you have any questions or anything.

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!

:) I will be happy to pray for you and your son. The little guy has had enough, that is for sure. Little Megan is living proof of the power of prayer-bless her.

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!!!

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
