No low pro diet and no need for re testing for a while.. wheww. I really thought I was going to lose another one to shunting and liver problems.
Thanks again for the thoughts everyone!! |
That's great.
Honestly, she shouldn't have been tested until at least 20 weeks old unless she was showing symptoms. This is Dr. Center's new recommendation. The organs aren't fully developed by 11 weeks. Since this wasn't really an accurate reading, I'd redue it after 20 weeks. If it is over 15 or 25 (depending on your comfort level), I would then do a Protein C test.
