Hi everyone,
Today we were very happy to receive a call from Brenda at Cleveland with the results of his Pancreatitis related labs. These were the labs that were drawn on October 30th. We knew they would take 6 weeks to get the results and we have been anxiously watching the calendar the last few days. Brenda said the labs for the genetic testing for the pancreatitis were all negative. I know this means he does not have the Cystic Fibrosis gene and the hereditary pancreatitis was also ruled out. I wasn't really sure what the third lab result was related to but it was some form of genetic predisposition for pancreatitis, which was also ruled out. So we are very thankful for such good news again! He'll be going to Cleveland the first week of January to meet with Dr. Kay and determine what we do next. We continue to be very impressed with the staff from Cleveland Clinic and their helpfulness as we try and understand all of this. Thank you for all of your continued support and prayers!
