...to a diagnosis.
We FINALLY had the gastro appt. yesterday (4 weeks after arriving in Hou) and the Dr. believes that Katarina has pancreatic insufficiency which involves malabsorption of fat and can be improved with enzyme treatment. She ordered another stool test to measure the level of elastace. Reduced elastace in the stool is an indicator of malabsorption. We're back to waiting and wish we had some results before day's end, but we know they're in process!
In the mean time, my two men arrived yesterday afternoon and we are enjoying the beach!! Travis is catching up on mommy time and can't get enough snuggling;-) Katarina couldn't get enough bed time kisses from Paul last night...she LOVES her daddy!
I'll post more as soon as we know more!
Hugs,
Nicole

My body does a great job when it comes to fat absorption (haha), I'd donate some of my excess elastace if I could!!!
