OK, so we took my soon for a sweat test after hubby and I found out
we were both CF carriers. His results were good-nowhere even
near borderline. But then he's been really sick, so we
finally convinced his pedi to get a stool sample. (whole 'nother
topic-we're switching docs). Well, the results were supposed
to be back, but I hadn't received any word from his office, so I
called. The nurse I talked with was really nice. They
did have the results but hadn't called (grrrr). So, she's
going over all his results- good, fine, negative, etc etc. So
then she gets to "fat" and says well I don't know what
that means. So I tell her that they were looking for a fat
malabsorption. Her response was that she needed to have the
doc look at the test results before she could say anything, and she
really wasn't sure what the report meant. So now I'm sitting
here paranoid on my break at work thinking that maybe something is
wrong and she's waiting for the dr's examination of the records.
I realize she wouldn't be allowed to tell me about anything
like that probably anyway, but now I'm just waiting for the phone
to ring. And I'm about to have my 2 toughest classes of the
day (I teach 6-12th grade reading)! I'm going to end up
being soo crabby with them! So am I just being paranoid?
Here I've been worried about the baby I've been carrying and
I may have totally missed what the baby I already had needs!
I feel like a bad mom...<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
