Here is Elle's school pic from this fall. I am actually not sure if I am allowed to post the pic, but we bought it, so I can can, right? I love it, she doesn't. She actually argued with me about having it retaken. She thought she had a goofy smile. I mean really,this starts now? The worry, the anxiety about how one looks? It is just crazy. She is adorable, you agree I know!!!
We got the test results back form Elle's blood work and the tests showed that she has an elevated level of potassium. The Doctor wanted her to retake the test Friday (yesterday) so that we could see if it had risen any higher or it was just a fluke. This was not an exciting idea to Elle to go back for more torture. However, I am so pleased to report she did awesome. We sat together, she got a little nervous, she saw the needle, tensed up, and said no no no! Then out of no where she steeled herself and said, "I'm ready". And she was! She laughed and watched and talked about how she had strawberry milk. (Cows have the regular stuff, she apparently thinks we are all made of milk). Afterward, we had a little mommy and Elle treat at TCBY. This was a much better experience than the first time we went through it. Anyway, that's all we know right now. The Dr. had said originally that it could possibly be a metabolic imbalance. So I guess he is exploring that idea a little further. That's all we know and we are still in the waiting game beyond that, taking it slow and trying to stay in a good mental zone. Thanks for praying and keep us in those (prayers that is). We are all trying to keep it together around here, so we seriously appreciate it when you think of us! Love to you peeps.
