There were so many great replies here in this thread, I felt a little overwhelmed about responding. Rabbitears -- a terrifying thought, but thank you for alerting me to the possibility. Helps me gage my protocol. Glaxony -- You're probably right about it going on for a while and the worm load getting up there. Shroom -- I guess maybe I am lucky? I find it interesting that when I went back to the lab the "one per person" rule didn't apply. This lab technician gave me 3 vials! I have three specimens all ready to go for first thing Tuesday. Should be interesting. Newport: I am still a little lost about zappers. Paralysis of analysis. I need to sort out all the choices. Zoebess: Redflag is right! I'm finding all new doctors for this family (but keeping the gastro).
EVERYONE: Thank you for your support and kindness. At the risk of sounding redundant, I am so lucky to have found CZ and this forum.
