If these next tests come back that he does have it, then we myself and Joe might have to be tested to see if we carrey the gene that causes that. Usuly the baby will get one of the what I now call "bad" gene from each parent. BUT he could have started it (dont think we are carriers) I guess it has to start somewhere. This is all he has done since we left the hospital, he even slep through diaper changes, had to MAKE him wake up to eat which just pissed him off lol

He should be showing some symptoms. If he does show symptoms both parents are carriers. I'm surprised that someone on either side of the family has not been diagnosed before, if that is the case. I hope the doctor told you not to feed the baby anything with lactose until they can confirm their suspicions. Like I said in your other post, the baby cannot ever consume diary products, and some veggies with a high content of galactose. As everyone else stated, everything will turn out grrrrrrrrreat. Goodluck.
