January 6th we went to Tylers appointment at Primary Children's. We met with the dietician and the General Practitioner. It was great. They told us to introduce a new food a week and to enjoy our sweet boy. We also had blood tests taken while there. Since then we have been waiting anxiously for the results.
Friday, the General Practitioner called saying that in order for it to be VLCADD they need to find two genetic mutations in the DNA. Well, they only found one! She said the rest of his test showed irregular for VLCADD. She said to keep treating him as if he has VLCADD and in July they will do more testing.
Then today at 1:50 I received another call from Primary Childrens. When I recognized the phone number I wondered if everything was alright. Come to find out, everything was perfect. The General Practitioner had a fellow doctor(a geneticist) look at Tylers test results and they determined he is just a carrier of the gene. This means no medicine, no yucky formula, no diet and no more Primary Childrens appointments!! Words can not express my happiness! We are so grateful for all the thoughts and prayers on ours and Tyler's behalf. We feel a weight has been lifted off our shoulders. We cannot beleive the blessings we have received! We are so grateful for an amazing Father in Heaven who blesses us abundantly and for our family and friends who have supported us! We love you all!
