Close Call

Well my nephew had his little newborn tests done and some came back abnormal. They said he had a good chance of having cystic fibrosis. He was tested for it yesterday morning and the doctor said it would take about two days to get the results back. But of course this week is Thanksgiving so we were hoping we'd know by Friday but figured it would be Monday at the earliest. My sis and her husband were upset but not too upset because they didn't know for sure yet and didn't want to worry if there wasn't really a problem.

Our family doctor, being the amazing person he is, made them rush the results back and we found out yesterday about 6 hours after he had the test. It turns out Bryce is just a carrier of CF. Talk about relief! He'll never have any of the symptoms of CF. However, it does suck that he is a carrier because later in his life if he has kids there is the chance they could have CF. But that is a long time away and all we care about for the time being is his health. :)

Our family doctor, Dr. C, is great. I love him. He has been my mom's doctor since she was 18 and then since we are her kids he became our doctor, and now he is Bryce's. He won platinum for best family doctor this past year. (he only got gold the two years before that) He's super sweet and just amazing. When N had some issues during her pregnancy she had to go to the ER 4 times and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. When Dr. C got the report from all the ER visits he called N asked her a few questions, diagnosed her illness, and got her meds. And he was right, she was better in like 3 days. Everyone at his office is great with the exception of the receptionist. She needs to learn how to smile. lol. But all the other people are nice. Just a couple years ago a new doctor joined him and she is just about too great. We only call her by her first name...no doctor whatever. I actually have no idea what her last name even is. lol. She's really young and very smart. She is basically the female version of Dr. C...except he's old. She'll be taking over the office after he leaves. They make the most kick ass team.

Well I need to go do something productive...dangit.
