Almost like a celebration, right?! Well, that is how Ron and I felt when we opened the letter with the blood-draw results for the girls. You may remember, that we went up to the hill {a.k.a. OHSU} after Christmas for the dreaded blood-draw to measure the GALT levels {to measure the Galactose in their blood}, as well as their Vitamin D levels. Things can change, so for some reason I am always a wee bit nervous...good news, their GALT levels remain stable and well controlled and we are so happy! On the other hand, their Vitamin D levels had been way too low and we have been working to improve them now for quite a while. And...the result is Alena finally meets the minimum, and Mia Rosie is almost there. I think the difference is that Mia Rose only drinks fortified OJ {and not as much} and Alena drinks a lot of fortified Soy Chocolate Milk. Also, we have been giving the girls the Vitamin D drops every morning...I am one happy Mama!
