Mitochondrial disease

[Guest guest]

My dearest friends, I hope everyone is doing well. I'm desperately writing you

in regards to our son .

He's been suspected of having mitochondrial disorder , amount the problems he

has that includes of course autism, asthma, pre-diabetes now, now recently I

took him to the university of Miami seeking for answers the chief of division

for pediatrics genetics was very happy to take over his care, he order a series

of blood work, which showed a few amino acids deficiency , acid pyruvate in the

urine alter among two more acids, but most worry he was about the lactic acid is

in alert @ 39.6 ( normal range from 5 - 18) . He decided to repeated again and

it was the same result. Now he would like to order a muscle biopsy so we could

start treatment right away. He wants us to go to Miami children's hospital, and

get it done. But in order to get it done I will have to see first a general

surgeon , consult with him first and then schedule the procedure , the next appt

mch has is not until 8/14. I'm so worried about my Bry and take into

consideration that he's only four years old. In my opinion and think that's too

long to wait for a consult.

Any thoughts, recommendations or advise will be greatly appreciated.
