Argh not enough blood taken

[wangle99]

DS had blood taken on 15th August to test for coeliac disease.

Been anxiously waiting last few days for results, hospital rings today and tells me they didn't take enough blood so they couldn't do the test.

Have to go up tomorrow for more and another two week wait.

Really stupid but I am so upset by this as thought we were finally getting somewhere. Feel a right wally lol

Why should you feel a wally? Tis the hospital's fault. Its difficult enough having to make a child give some blood, they should apologise.

Feel a wally I'm so upset! Came off the phone in tears. Wanted to get a diagnoses before he went back to school on the 11th September but don't think it will happen now.

Think I'm too hormonal at the moment lol

Aw poor wangle

wangle,

if you can, try to get a genetic screening test done with the same blood sample. This will help establish whether coeliac disease is possible in the future, even if not present now. DS has the gene, but not the disease (his problem was giardiasis).
