We are negative which is a positive.
On Monday, Ruthie went to Childrens to complete a sweat test. During this test they put sensorson her leg and then stimulated those sensors to encourage her body to sweat. When checking for cystic fibrosis, you colllect sweat to see what the salt levels tell you. Too high and you have CF. After they stimulated her leg they then placed gauze and plastic wrap around the area to collect the sweat. After 30 minutes, we re- entered the room and the gauze was sent to the lab. Dr. Sitron called a few hours later to inform us that yes she still has a heart defect and yes she still has hypothyroidism but no she does not have CF. What a relief.
Later that day, Ruths cardiologist Dr. Goel told us that since she is eating well we can remove her Ng tube. So now she is eating all on her own and honestly doing great. It is so nice to be tube free.
Thank you for all the prayers. God clearly answers his people.
