| cheddar pufffs...rich in zinc? |
We plan to visit Children's Hospital tomorrow for a CBC (complete blood count). We need to understand if Aero is deficient in micro nutrients among other markers. Children with T21 are usually deficient in many micro nutrients with Zinc being a very important one.
What happens when your body is depleted of zinc?
-thyroid dysfunction which means sluggish and low energy reserves
-immunodeficiency which means repeated respiratory ailments, colds, flu, other viruses
-slow growth of all processes, not just physical growth
-faulty DNA repair
This is just one of the many that are concerning, others; selenium, vitamin d, markers for celiac disease, leukemia, etc.
Please say a little prayer for Aero. Kids with T21 have tiny veins so we pray for an experienced lab tech who makes it easy peasy for Mr. A.
Stay tuned for the results....
