I just talked to a nurse who works with Elijah's genetics doctor and the results from all of the torturous testing from last week came back NORMAL!!! I cried a little bit after I hung up. I'm getting pretty good at the Relief Crying.
Here are the things that have been ruled out by this most recent testing:
- He does not have mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) disease. MPS is a genetic disease caused by the body's inability to produce specific enzymes, which would cause cells in the body to not form properly which would cause serious damage to the body. No need to go on because it was ruled out!
- His growth hormone levels are normal.
- His bones all have normal formation. In other words, he is not a little person (or any form of that) like his ENT doctor thought he might be. This is the second time this very doctor has scared us with unresearched and incorrect thoughts.
THANK YOU, GOD!
So, in short (ha!), we just have a short little boy. Like mother like son, right?

I'm glad none of those scary things came back positive! What a relief. Let the break from testing begin!
