The muscle biopsy is back!

We have wonderful news!  The muscle biopsy is back and it was negative for the many muscle diseases tested for!  We are so happy!  We ruled out a lot of terrible disease and are grateful he doesn't have them.  The muscle biopsy did show "non specific myopathic changes."  This means an "unknown muscle disease."  The doctor called and we chatted for awhile.  Her and the other panel of doctors that reviewed his biopsy don't agree.  They said it was minimal and insignificant.  I hope they are right.  She said we wait and watch.  She also said a possible future biopsy may be needed Years down the road, When his muscle has developed more.   She said he needs to meet back up with genetics now.  I hope they are right.  I understand they see these all the time but it worries me that we are ignoring something that could us get an answer for him.  I do know he is getting the care he needs today and that is what matters.  And we are thrilled to have ruled out the terrible things they have been worried about with him!  He is doing well and happy, so all is well.  Next step, cardiology.  Love this little man of ours!
