WDW here we come, or maybe not?

[redbaybound]

I haven't been on much lately, things have been crazy. Most importantly my son has been ill. His iron levels are low, his hair has been falling out and they have been unable to find out what is causing the problem. At first his pediatrician said not to worry and that supplements would help. They haven't. Now he is worried and so are we. I am meeting with another doctor today at four and am hoping that he will be able to tell us what is wrong.

So anyway, keep us in your prayers. If more tests can wait, we leave tomorrow early. My son will be heart broken if we can't go.

Happy Holidays my DIS and VMK friends!

I am so sorry to hear about your son. I hope the Doctor you are seeing today is able to give you more answers. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I really hope any further testing can wait to be scheduled after your trip. Please keep us updated if you can.

I'm so sorry to hear about your son and what you are going through. Please let us know what the doctor says when you get back. Praying it's nothing serious and that you'll be able to leave for WDW tomorrow...

Sending lots or prayers and pixie dust to you and your family!
I hope things go well, and if you do go on your trip, I hope it is magical. (but bring lots of hand sanitizer, its that time of year and worse with big crowds) I've been sick since we go back last week and I never get sick.

My thoughts are with you and your family! Take care!

 

[cat_herder]

I'm sorry to hear that. Many prayers coming your way.

 

[redbaybound]

Well, the bad news is they still don't understand what's wrong.

The good news is we are going to WDW tomorrow!!!!!!! Yay!!!!! Tests can wait so we can go have fun!

Thank all of you for your prayers; it really does help you know....

Enjoy your trip!

I think it should be reassuring that even if they don't know exactly what's going on, they know he's doing well enough that a bit of fun and magic is still OK!

And when you get back, best wishes that they figure it all out to put your mind at rest.

Good luck, and have fun!

Hopefully you won't see this anytime soon, it would mean you're all living it up at Disney World!

For when you get back..ask your Ped if it could be Alopecia that is causing the hair loss. I know of a little girl who was recently diagnosed with this condition, she had suddenly started losing hair out of nowhere.

Many thoughts and hugs to your family, the unknown is such a scary thing.

I'll keep your son in my prayers. Hope they can get him back on the normal path soon.
BTW, I didn't realize that low levels of iron could cause the hair loss. That may explain the thinning I had a while back. I've been anemic for a couple of years now, but hate taking the iron supplements. My doc gave me a prescription the other day that is not supposed to cause the bad side effects. I'll have to find it now and see about getting it filled. Been filling the pain stuff too much lately instead for my back.
