Muscle Biopsy


We got the results of the Muscle Biopsy today. Unfortunately the Nurse Practitioner that we saw was unable to explain them to me, but at least I was able to read them and what I could make of it was good news. I assume the Genetics Dr. we see tomorrow will be able to share more detail, and if not her, then we see the Neurologist on Monday, and he's the one who ordered it.
Soo... here is what I know. The muscle fibers were not "red ragged" fibers that would indicate the mitochondrial disease. They did show signs of "hypotonic muscles" or low tone in the muscle, which we already knew about Aggie. Physical strength is not likely to define her. The best news of all is that "it does not seem like a progressive problem". Wonderful News!!! Whatever IT is, it is not likely to get worse, which gives me great hope for Aggies future development as we continue therapy. I praise God for this wonderful news!!
