Heading the wrong way...

A little bit frustrated. The only results that are back so far are not exactly good. It may be a fluke and we are going to have to run some more tests but we are not starting out in the right direction.

Edited to Add: We only found out about this late in the day yesterday and I wanted to discuss it with mommy before putting it up on the blog. Consequently I was forced to post from my phone at the end of the day and didn't include too many details.

So far we don't have any scan results. Hopefully we will on Thursday.

What we do have are some blood results that show that Rebekah's adrenal glands were destroyed more than we thought by the radiation and are not producing enough cortisol. This is also known as the "stress hormone" in that your body produces it during times of stress. A brief summary by the doctor is that it helps all the other cells do what they need to do to fight off bad things. A person with little (or no) cortisol could be in life threatening danger even from a basic sickness/bug. Rebekah will be undergoing some more specific adrenal gland testing over spring break and we'll go from there.
