We have the results of the urinalysis back. The specific gravity is low (which means that his urine is dilute), the potassium is off, and the sodium is low. It's my understanding that is all they tested, so we are batting three for three in the abnormal results for that testing. They are sending us to a pediatric nephrologist at Brenner Children's Hospital on Monday now, in addition to the sweat chloride test. When the nurse gave me the results, she said that our doctor "really does not know" what is going on. I probed a little further and asked if it was that he suspected but did not know was really the case, or that he really had no clue. She confirmed that it was the latter -- he really cannot give any more insight than what he has given......
I'm again back to the place of waiting. I'm trying to find comfort in it, but I'm not yet to that point. That's just the honest truth.
