God give me the strength to keep a brave face. In spite of all my worries and fears of this little guys and all he is going through, my mind is weary from it's constant racing. The pediatric Gastroenterologist needs to perfom an endoscopy on my sweet little 5 year old. Looking for a variety of things, and most importantly a more clear definition of the celiac. Although I don't understand the off chance it couldn't be when he tests positive for it on bloodwork, never heard of a false positive. But you know doctors, they seem to want to be 100% sure on everything and feels like run a million tests and labs. I am overwhelmed. We left the office in shock and worry of a procedure that doesn't sound quite like a picnic to an unsuspecting kindergartener. On top of that, sent back to the lab to stick the kid yet another time. :( This is probably Parker's 4th or 5th time having blood taken. My heart breaks that his little body has to do all of this. While I am super grateful we aren't dealing with chemo and the most horrifics of pediatric scenarios, it's hard for me as a Mom imaging how scary and upsetting for him this must be. I never once was hosptitalized as a kid, never had any severe allergies or even had any bloodwork taken until I was in high school! So for that, I am sad. I just want to get him feeling better. More waiting...more uncertainties and anxieties to brew. Praying
