Test Results

Today we received a few of the results from some of the tests run on Jonathan last week. The good news is that Cystic Fibrosis and Malabsorption both came back negative. On to the next set of tests. Tomorrow we repeat the gastric emptying study that was done in the hospital about 9 months ago.

In a weird way I was hoping that the test for Malabsorption would yield a positive result. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad in the long run that it isn't, but that would have explained why he isn't gaining weight. Additionally, depending on the case, it's fairly easy to treat. Another way to look at it is that a positive result for Malabsorption would have been the quick and easy answer...
