It's all in the Genes
Turns out 'not being 100% sure' of a diagnosis (or two?) is not an idea that Bam Bam's doctor is satisfied with. This appointment only took an hour and 15 minutes, I'll call that a victory. The test results from our last appointment were all normal. Oh yeah, except the results on the scale. That's still a problem. With new medicine and upped food intake, Bam Bam gained um, how can I put this nicely....nothing, nada, keine kilos, no pounds, no ounces, no grams. Verstehest Du? Comprende? A couple of genetic tests, a potential repeat endoscopy, and a diet change looms ahead. But, first, we wait. We wait for results. We wait for our next appointment, we wait for another referral. Frankly, I'm dreading the results; dreading if they will be positive, dreading if they will be negative. Ironically, my greatest comfort comes from my child. He climbs mountains while I'm still huffing it in the foothills. He flies above me while I sit below, contemplating all the ways that I could lose him. He defies my worries, my calculations. And so, we move forward. It's lunchtime here. We all need to eat.
