One Year Checkup

On Monday Bekah finally got to see her Dr for her one year checkup. This came at a time when we had a lot to discuss regarding Bekah's health. She weighed in at 18lbs 4oz which brought her weight from the 25th percentile to the 10th. Her height was still at the 100th percentile though. Her weight not staying consistent, diarrhea for 6 weeks, hives, not drinking much, and not sleeping well at night had her Dr a bit concerned. As it did us too! So the Dr ordered a whole lot of blood work to be done. They were checking everything they could basically. Such as basic allergies (wheat, milk, eggs, dust, peanuts), electrolytes, anemia, lead, white blood count, you name it they were checking it. Anyway, the Dr's biggest concern is Celiac disease basically an alergy to wheat (gluten). But if it isn't controlled can have consequences. As of Tues morning one test already came back a bit conerning. The basic gist of it was that there was definite swelling in Bekah's small intestines. This is usually caused by diarrhea which she has had. This is also very normal for someone with Celiac disease. We are still waiting for the allergy tests to come back, but because Bekah does have an abnormal test already the Dr has transfered us to a GI specialist. So now we are waiting to see the GI specialist and waiting for more test results. We are praying that all this just clears up on its own or that it is all just caused by a simple allergy. Although Celiac disease would be an absolute pain we can deal with it. All we really want is to find out what is bothering Bekah and fix it so that she can feel well!
