Update on Charlotte

This week will be filled with much to accomplish.  Last week Charlotte had her blood sugars tested as well as her urine.  Praise the Lord her blood sugar was 98 (normal) and her urine was negative for sugar and ketones!  Charlotte’s appointment with the gastroenterologist will be this Friday.  Last Friday the doctor fell ill and needed us to reschedule.  We are still uncertain exactly what she will want to test for this time as I think Charlotte has gone through every test imaginable.  According to the pediatrician there are only 3 reasons that Charlotte’s breath would smell the way it does:

1.      Type 1 Diabetes (ruled out)

2.      Diet  consisting of primarily meat and vegetables with no carbs or starches (not the case with our diet)

3.      Dehydration (not the case because she pees all the time – this is why we suspected Type 1 Diabetes)

The pediatrician mentioned that it could be some sort of autoimmune issue, but didn’t suspect that either because Charlotte has already been tested for several autoimmune disorders.  Charlotte was weighed last week and only weighed 27lbs 6oz, so for a 3 year old she is extremely underweight (Read: Tiny).  Other than being born weighing 10lbs, Charlotte has always been “tiny”, but healthy.  So, I presume that nothing will come out of the appointment with the gastro doctor other than Charlotte is just small.  

We appreciate all of the prayers and words of encouragement.  We know the Lord is Sovereign and that anything that happens does so according to His will.
