PeachyDoodle Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Both dd13 and I are waiting on results from medical tests that could be absolutely nothing, or completely terrible, or anywhere in between. I'm scared. It sucks. Anybody want to distract me? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Praying it turns out to be absolutely nothing! I hate waiting for test results. The longer I have to wait, the more I start focusing on the scariest possibility. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Hugs. I can empathize as I am waiting for results and having PET scan tomorrow. Hoping it’s absolutely nothing for your son. ETA: I am helping my kids with filing and doing income tax returns in the meantime. Edited February 5, 2019 by Arcadia 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Waiting on celiac test results for two more kids...had hoped to have them before meeting with GI doctor today for DS, but no luck. I have found that doing taxes DOES distract you. But a book is more fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loowit Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I hope you get your results soon. It is hard to wait. Usually I play computer games to distract myself. Right now I am waiting for middle to get done with a drive with his driving instructor, so I am playing on my phone mostly while I sit in the parking lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for checking in. No, they said possibly tomorrow but a few of dd's tests take awhile. So could be a few more days. Unfortunately I am still waiting on a call to schedule the appointment for my follow-ups. I thought that at least would come today. But it's almost 6pm here so I guess not. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pen Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Ugh. I’m sorry you have this happening. How is dd doing? I also tend to distract with movies or books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeachyDoodle Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 She seems to be okay. I am trying to carry on like nothing is happening, so I think that's reassuring to her. She is a bit anxious, I can tell. Thank you for asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Ugh, just got a call from the pediatrician, which I ran to answer. Automated message telling me that test results are in the portal - so then I run to the computer to check. Yeah...some are back but the ones I'm most waiting for are still pending. False alarm. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh -- that's the worst! Every time the phone rings, my heart starts pounding. And I know that we're not likely to hear anything about dd today, or at least not until late in the day. But still, I can't help it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Can you call and ask if the results are in yet? I have found that sometimes it seems to help speed things along a little if you remind them that you’re worried, because they can sympathize with that and they will often go out of their way to call you more quickly when they get the results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 And..now it looks like maybe they ran the wrong test on one kid. IgG instead of IgA. OR...IgA was run, but is not back yet? I sent a message via the portal to find out, after verifying with the GI doctor that we really need IgA 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Got word that both tests were in fact done on youngest, and they were normal (although still can't see the results of the IgA in the portal). Other daughter has a note saying IgG is normal, no notation about IgA, and neither are viewable in the portal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that last one comes back normal too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeachyDoodle Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Finally got some news. Not all of dd's tests are in, so we will have to wait until next week for final confirmation. But everything that is back so far has been negative, and the doc says in her opinion it's highly unlikely that any of the ones that are left will come back positive. The ones she was most concerned about are all fine. So, overall really good news and we can breathe a bit easier. Still no call for my next steps, but they said this week so if I don't hear today I will call tomorrow. I was much more worried about dd, so this helps a lot. I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers! 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
