Real quick update:
Here’s a very quick update on Charleigh. This is a copy of a quick email I just sent. It’s just brushing the surface, and not at all grammatically correct. If you want to know more give me a call.
Our trip to the doctor was quite exciting. It appears Charleigh is highly allergic to the milk and only slightly to the egg and wheat. He explained how the allergy was affecting her body and messing with her pancreas. After the two weeks off dairy her body is already healing significantly and our possible type 1 diabetes is a thing of the past. We were quite encouraged to see her progress and he told us that with in a few months he expects her body to heal enough that the diabetic diet will no longer be needed. He also expects the tests to show no allergy to wheat and eggs when we go back.
I feel very blessed that we had such a thorough dr. We could have quite easily focused on the hypoglycemia and spent all our efforts fighting a losing battle.
Note: When I get some time I will pull together some links and research on the correlation of food allergies and hypoglycemia and post them here. This is a very important subject I think could really change some lives.
