Emily had her visit to Emory this week. This is where we meet with her dietitian, Maria and Dr. Singh. They also take a full blood panel (as opposed to the heel pricks I do weekly that test for her Phe levels). We confirmed that Emily does have Classical PKU, the most severe form, but we pretty much already knew that based on her extremely low tolerance for Phe in her diet. Everyone said that she is developing wonderfully and everything looks good. And that we will continue to monitor her levels closely and make any adjustments to her diet as we need to based on those levels.
Dr. Singh truly is a blessing. She just loves and brags on her patients (Emily is her youngest PKU baby right now so she is especially fond of her) and has a true love and investment in their lives, development and future. She is very involved in the PKU community and keeps me up-to-date on possible treatment options that may be available to her in future. Thanking God for such a wonderful facility and providers so close to home. We are blessed!
