I love your guts!!!

O.K. so we haven't posted for a while, really not much to share. Just pushing forward, but......Yipee! We got good news from Dr. Morgan this week. The second round of stool samples came out much better in some areas than before. His Lactoferrin test came back negative as did the fungal growth, which is a HUGE improvement over last time. The Calprotectin rose slightly, for an unknown reason. The microbiology was not quite as big of an improvement. While there is still little good bacteria, the bad bacteria is still there, different ones this time, but not as many in the "pathogen" range. Not perfect news, but we will take it. This also should exempt Logan's GI doc. from wanting to put him on some intestinal "anti-inflammatories". Great news!!
Beneficial Bacteria
Escherichia coli 3+
Bifidobacterium 4+
Additional Bacteria
alpha haemolytic Streptococcus 4+
gamma haemolytic Streptococcus 3+
Bacillus species 1+
Klebiella pneumoniae 4+ (pathogen)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa 3+
Enterobacter cloacae 3+
haemolytic Escherichia coli 4+
Dr. Morgan took Logan off of the Aloe Vera, and added a mix called GI comfort instead. He also added a high dosage, OTC lactobacillus as well. We still have him on the pro-biotics, tincture, fish oil, and GI protect as well as the EleCare medical food. Cha-Ching! Can you hear it? :-)
We also had Logan evaluated by a physical Therapist today. She recommended he be seen on a regular basis, and see an orthopedic specialist for some orthodonics. He drags his toes when he walks, and has low overall muscle tone, etc....etc...etc.... We will be posting more on this as we get the reports. Turns out Mom's hunch that the weak gait was a little more than that, was right on. Yeah Mom!! Have to pat myself on the back once in a while to make this journey a little easier.
Well, it is time to close, we feel so blessed to have this little angel in our care. He is such a joy and so happy. He really brings some needed peace to this home, and lots of laughs and love.
