Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 To all: Hello, I am the mother of Abigail age 4 yrs and Bridget 2 yrs. Abigail has optic atrophy, heart murmur and dialated valve that they are keeping and eye on to see if it continues to dialate. After a basic blood test with the genetic doctor he had Abigail go for a metabolic screening. There may be " Significant " findings and we must go for an additional blood test tommorow morning. Her lactate and pyrvate were elevated in the metabolic screening. They are seeking a mito disorder. My heart goes out to all and their babies. It is so hard on the children having test after test. Is there any other parents whose children have optic atrophy? I am worried, nervous and out of my mind. I am sitting here with plastic wrap on my arm covering the lidocine/prilocai... seeing how it makes my arm feel because I plan on using it on Abigail tommorow to numb the arm before the blood test. I have to test it first because she is so sensative and I don't want her having a major breakdown because she doesn't like the way it makes her arm feel, its going to be a hard enough day. Has anybody ever used this cream? Kerry Dougherty - Mother to Abigail (optic atrophy possible mito) and Bridget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
