An Update on Baser...


Well Clint took my little man to the Dr. this week. There was good news and bad news. The bad news is that to tests for this Celiac Disease it is not easy. You can not simply test the blood or anything like that, you would have a serious of internal test that would have to be completed such as a biopsy of the intestines and such. However, the good news is that the Dr. did not recommend these tests right away. Because of the fact that Chase only gets his stomach aches right before bed and in the morning when waking up, he thinks this may not be a digestive problem, as we digest all day long not only every 8 hours or so. His diagnosis to us was that Chase may have a childrens form of IBS due to stress and worries. And this kid does worry. I dont know who told this kid that he must be concerened about every single person around him before himslef, but we will need to work on this. So for now the Dr. says to shoot him full of fiber, to help cleanse him out, and go from there. If the stomache aches lessen then we will work on some stress releivers. Who has stress at 7 years old anyway, that boy has no idea what stress is! And if the stomache aches get worse or stay constant then we will have to take him into a pediatrec specialist. So we are not out of the woods completely, but we have at least found a trail to follow....
