I finally spoke with someone that knew what they were talking about, so I feel a bit better. Our appointment is on Monday, it's going to be a looooong weekend! </p> <p>@Applesandbananas: that's good to hear, I am really hoping for that result too! </p> <p>It's such a bummer because he was starting to extend his sleeping time and I now have to wake him up every 2-3 hours max to feed :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-mcad-deficiency#post-1557542 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 20:26:26 +0000 Applesandbananas 1557542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a false positive on something else in his newborn screening (had something to do with thyroid) but when they tested again, all was fine and I'd forgotten about it completely until your thread. </p> <p>I hope it's nothing and you forget about it soon! Enjoy your baby snuggles, worrying is as effective as chewing bubble gum to solve an algebra equation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-mcad-deficiency#post-1557529 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 20:15:47 +0000 luckypenny 1557529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no experience with this but just wanted to say I'm thinking about you and hoping you get some answers and peace of mind soon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/experience-with-mcad-deficiency#post-1557459 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 19:22:39 +0000 jill_a55 1557459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wondering if anyone has experience with MCAD deficiency, and if so, has it been a big adjustment? Our newborn screening flagged for that and I am of course freaaaaaking out. It's still a preliminary positive, and I know it's not the worst that could happen by any means, but I feel so terrible for C. </p> <p>We've had a really rough last two days, between terrible phone calls and horrific attempts at lab work, I am really hoping it is just a false positive and we can forget this ever happened! </p>
