Cameron's tests & ER visit

[Guest guest]

Donna,

I'm so sorry that Cameron has had such a bad time lately, with both the

new pains and the " breakdown/seizure " he had. I hope he is doing

somewhat better now. I'm sure they checked for things like appendicitis

in the blood work up. Let us know what they find out.

Hi Donna,

Please convey our best wishes to Cameron. Sorry to hear he's had to

go through such a rough time lately.

Here's a link to a site which has some good information about most of

the more common Lab tests/procedures that might give you and Cameron

some good information:

Lab Tests On Line

This site will help the patient understand the many clinical lab tests

that are part of routine care as well as diagnosis and treatment of a

broad range of conditions and diseases. Health care consumers are

being asked to assume more responsibility for their care. Knowing more

about lab tests and the issues surrounding testing is an important

step in this direction.

Hope this helps.

Donna,

Have you had your son checked for celiac disease?? Just curious,

because I had been " lactose intollerant " since childhood. Since I

found out that I have celiac disease, I am able to eat dairy

products again (thanks to the gluten-free diet). Just a thought.

Good luck with all the upcoming tests.

Take care
