Elevated lead levels in granddaughter

[TANSTAAFL]

We you stationed at Camp LeJuene?

No, but I do tell the scam callers on my phone that I vacation there and buy their bottled tap water... LeJuene by Dasani, delicious...

That was her favorite flavor. Obviously she got that batch.

Got a good attorney?

Lead accumulates in your organs and bones. Half life in your bones is 15 years or there about. Not sure about other organs. Dont quote me on this I am not an MD.

Lead also is linked to behavior problems......

Lead negatively affects and delays brain development in children.

Had to go back and reread original post. Gotta say I didn’t realize testing for lead was a routine part of blood tests these days. At least I’m assuming “lab results” resulted from a blood test. Heck, I didn’t think a blood test for a 12 month old would be routine. Makes me wonder was the little one having problems in some way that would make a doctor run “labs”?

Sorry to hear, and I'm glad you found this early on.

Now that the doctors know - and you likely found the source...
Have they discussed how to lead de-tox?

Still in the early stages as to response. Medically and legally.

Is she around anyone involved in general aviation or live near an airport? LL100 aviation fuel is the largest source of lead pollution now.

I'm not sure how the lead was first discovered or why. Not really any physical or developmental issues known right now. She is being seen via Indian Health services.....they may do things different.

No, pretty rural
