A week ago today girlchild had her blood tests. Her doctor is on vacay for the next couple of weeks but he said we could call the nurse to get results in "about a week.". So ..... do I call today? Even if I get the results read to me they won't mean anything TO me. Autoimmune issues don't work that way .... they don't come back "you have xyz.". They show markers and then the doctor puts the pieces together, like a puzzle. So maybe I should just wait until her scheduled appointment to find out what is what.
I see "signs" everywhere .....and I wonder if it is God preparing me for accepting she has an autoimmune issue or if it is simply me being a freakazoid mom. :-D One sign I've noticed (or put together with my own puzzle game) is that her toes and fingers turn blue when she's cold. They've always done that .... last night they did it again. She has so many "signs". Even the kidney issues that she had when she was 3-5 and again last year. If I recall correctly she always had a lot of protein in her urine -- another sign. She also has a sore right now in the top of her mouth (another sign) but I keep telling myself she also has a COLD .... and the sore could be related to that.
I wish he wasn't on vacation ..... but he is. I just have to be patient and wait. Patience << -- not one of my virtues!!
