Just got a letter from Santa from Moose’s doctor with the test results from recent bloodwork.
On Christmas Day.
This is the best gift a mother could ask for…an answer pointing us in the right direction for new treatment.
Moose has something called CMV {cytomegalovirus}.
The bad news? It causes autistic-like symptoms and developmental delays.
The good news? It can be treated!
We visit our doctor right after the new year, and I cannot wait to start treating this!
If your child has delays, please find a doctor to run viral titers. It could be a piece of your puzzle as well.
Most parents wouldn’t want “bad news” on Christmas. But this is good “bad news”….
Happy Holidays to all. Keep us in your prayers…
Praise God for this piece of the puzzle!!! I will be praying and I look forward to updates. Merry Christmas… thank you for sharing your beautiful outlook and your strong, motherly spirit!
I’m praising God with you too! So happy for you all that you have some possible answers and treatments!
Wonderful news! I don’t know what the treatment will be, but I can tell you are hopeful, and that makes me very happy!
Congrats on your good bad news. I can relate, sometimes we cringe and rejoice at the same time when we figure out another “piece” of the puzzle, but each time we do and treat there is always a big improvement. Keep us posted on how his treatment goes.
Oh wow, that sounds like amazing news! I’m so happy for you that you can finally do something to help him – not that you haven’t already done everything you can. You really desrve this good news.
That sounds so great–to be able to pinpoint a WHY and work toward conquering it. Well done, Mama. You are such an amazing advocate for your kids!!
Merry Christmas
Congratulations on the piece of the puzzle, and a treatment!
So glad you have some questions answered!! Hope all the new treatment goes well for him and all your family. =) Happy New Year!
