We have an answer!!!

This is an article to read about the bacteria that was found in Lillie's samples. It is called c-difficile for short. We are going on an antibiotic for 10 days and this will hopefully kill the bacteria, or jump start the body to kill it on it's own. It could take these 10 days, or take 3 months to a year for the body to kill it. She said it is something she has seen a lot, so it's not a huge deal.
She did say she is not mal-absorbing any of her foods, so that is a good thing. She is getting what she needs out of the foods she is eating.

Her blood tests revealed she had an elevated glucose number.. I think this was from the marshmallows she ate in the waiting room at TCH. HAHA The doctor seems to think that was the issue as well. (oops... lay off the marshmallows!)

We are also to give her a pro-biotic daily until we go back in May. She gave us samples to give her, so we will just go purchase more until we go back. (it is an over the counter medication)

We feel like we are on the road to an answer!!! WOW, who knew it would take this long, and this many questions to find a bacteria.. That nasty thing created so many people to worry so much!!!

We will keep everyone updated on this as we have more answers!

We have an appointment!!!
