Update

We went to the hospital for two more tests yesterday, a urinalysis and a sweat chloride test. In order to collect the sweat, they put two electrodes on Kaitlin's arm for about five minutes to initiate her body to make sweat. Then they put this little watch looking thing on her arm for 30-minutes to "collect" the sweat. After a half hour, they pulled a tiny tube out of the watch looking thing that had the sweat in it. Kaitlin was a champ for the entire process and the employees at the lab just fell in love with her. We were allowed to roam the hospital for a half hour while the sweat was collected and when we returned to the lab they told us that they'd made Kaitlin their mascot for the day. Now for the good news, all of the tests came back normal. Yeah!!! We are very relieved! We will follow up with another weight check in a few weeks. Thank you all for the encouragement and support while we waited for news! Now I must go before Kaitlin gets into something she shouldn't!
