Drum roll please…

And the results are in. The Pip Squeaks blood levels were slightly elevated, however, they are no where near the elevation level that babies who have MMA or PA are typically at. For instance, Pip Squeaks level was at 81 which is above the normal level of 50, however, babies who normally have it are at 350-400+. The doctors are going with a 80-90% that Pip Squeak has NEITHER!!!

Pip Squeak doesn’t exhibit the symptoms that the ones who typically have this do. She wakes us up when she has a wet or poopy diaper. She grunts when she tries to poop. She makes noise when she’s hungry. Lately, she’s been more awake than we’ve ever seen her and she’s even looking at us now. The doctors said that babies who have MMA or PA sleep ALL the time and make NO noise. They would sleep to death if the parents let them. Furthermore, babies who have this don’t eat and they LOSE weight. Pip Squeak weighed in at 6lbs 2 Oz today up from the 5 lbs 6oz from a couple of weeks ago.

This has probably been the best news we’ve received in a couple of weeks. It’s been sheer terror waiting for the results and not knowing one way or the other. We asked if there was a chance she was borderline and the doctors equated MMA and PA to diabetes, either you have it or you don’t there is no borderline.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts, well wishes and prayers. We have certainly been blessed by them.
