At my Breaking Point

[momja]

Well today was ds weight check, he gained a little over 1 oz in one months. I'm so frustrated! His ped said the referral for the genetic analysis was in at Children's, and she also added a list of other things she wanted checked out. I asked if it was for the full panel and explained what I knew, etc, etc...She said ya that she wanted the full panel done and that the nurse put all the info through.

I get to Children's and there isn't a request for a full panel. They are only checking for 70 mutations. I'm so frustrated I could spit. Oh and on the way to the hospital DH calls to tell me all this testing is bull and he wants me to start going to another Ped. He doesn't agree with any of it. After I leave children's I call DH back and try to explain why the testing is needed. He claims how his mom said all her boys were skinny and it's just genetics and the doctor is just pushing tests because we have insurance. Well I lost it and told him she was following protocol of what to test for with DS's symptoms. He thinks she just pulled CF out of her rump and decided to test for it. Needless to say I'm not sure if DH will come home tonight after what I said.

2-3 weeks for the lab results. We have the third sweat test on the 30th and meet with a nutritionist as well.
I feel guilty for my skinny son and want him to be healthy. I have no support from my DH. I can't believe the Doctors would do all this for nothing.

Keep you head up.... you know what's best.

Sounds like you hubby is in denial and doesn't want his DS to be ill. But you know better.

Tell you doc you want an Ambry Full Panel (as I know you did already). Don't let the ped order you anything different. If he/she ordered the wrong test, call them back and ask them to re-state the order.

Don't back down. You know what needs to be done!

<b>sakasuka</b>-I just called the Ped office and told them to call Children's and change it to a full panel if possible with the amount of blood they took. Thanks. I'm really trying to stay focused here.

The lab guy told me that the 70 mutations tested for will pick up 91% of the genes. Why not just test for all of them right off?

I'm sorry this is soooo hard. My DH had a hard time with the testing stage too. He didn't think we shouldn't test, but he did think it was pointless. He kept saying, "She's fine!" And it was so hard to have to argue otherwise, because who WANTS their kid to have this.

You are doing great!! Hang in there!!! Hopefully you'll get some answers. And if the worst thing turns out to be your DH was right, well you'll deal with that later!!!

Best of luck!!!
