We were excited - as excited as one can be when dealing with incurable diseases in your children - that after the results of Hannah's bloodwork were in, we had a relatively short wait before we were able to get in and see the GI specialist (less than two weeks, which is nothing short of a miracle as we hear it).
We are blessed to have an amazing Children's Hospital and excellent doctors across all kinds of pediatric specialties right here in Grand Rapids. The offices are spectacular, the staff is amazing with the kids, and everything there is designed to be as "fun" as possible.
We met with the nurse practitioner and the pediatric dietitian, both who gave us a wealth of practical and useful information - not all of it was new, but as we are sort of inundated with information right now, it's helpful to have the highlights reaffirmed from time to time. The nurse practitioner has a husband who was diagnosed with Celiacs just a couple of years ago, so her perspective was especially refreshing...and she adored Hannah, which earned her lots of brownie points with Mom and Dad.
