As of last week, we were thinking that Ellison had the Duarte form of Galactosemia. The blood test from last Thursday still showed some abnormalities but Dr. Champaign said that was probably b/c he had eaten right before the blood draw. We met with her yesterday for 2 hours and she said made the comment, "I was almost 100% sure that Ellison has Duarte Galactosemia, but when we looked at his genes he doesn't have the gene for that". What it all boils down to is that Ellison is just a carrier for Galactosemia. We will not have to do anything different now...no blood levels to check and no diet changes. Matthew and I are calling it a miracle because all of his blood work was pointing toward the Duarte form but now he is just a carrier. We are very thankful for all of the prayers during this time...it was a little scary to try to take all of this in along with his other issues. He's still the cutest boy ever and we are blessed to have the little chunk!
I'll try to post some pics later on. Have a great weekend!
Love to all, NV
