New day, new dx and a new start. I'm ready!:rosette2:
I was told today....Her officially DX is now....IBD and Eosinophilic Disease.
Two diseases. Grace has always been talented.
I think hearing the first dx of Colitis has helped me get use to the idea.
I don't know, I just feel like OK, let get on fighting this thing.
I don't care if she has 10 diseases, I will get my little girl back.:thumleft:
Brief description of Eosinophilic Disease (EGID's)
Eosinophilic (ee oh sin oh fill ick) disorders occur when the body reacts to trigger(s) by creating too many white blood cells (eosinophils) which hang out in inappropriate places creating trouble. White blood cells target germs and other invaders; in eos kids, they recognize normally harmless things as *enemies*.
This has been referred to as "The Mother of All Food Allergies". Kids with eos disorders may or may not also have IgE allergies, but the reality is that their bodies react inappropriately to triggers, which frequently include food(s).
This problem is, left unchecked causes damage to the intestines, wherever the eos is at.
