Test Results...

Well, I talked to one of the nurses at Emma's doctors office today and she said that all of Emma's test results came back ok. She couldn't "officially" tell me that but I'm taking her word for it. So, while I'm very happy that she doesn't have Lupus, RA, or any immune system abnormality it still leaves me wondering .... what is wrong with her? So, now I just wait on her doctor to call and schedule another appointment and we will go from there I guess. The last visit when we were discussing all of the tests he wanted done he had suggested a sleep study. I'm assuming that will probably be next since all of her "flare ups" only happen at night time after she has went to sleep. He doesn't know if something is causing issues in her upper airway once she goes to sleep so we will see. Another option is sending her to an ID doctor which is an Infectious Disease doctor to see if they can offer any different suggestions. Emma's pediatrician also happens to be an Immunologist so he wants to exhaust all of his efforts first before sending her to someone else which I'm very thankful for. So, I guess we are kind of back to step one...hopefully something turns up soon and if anyone has any advice/suggestions please feel free to leave me a comment. Thanks! :)
