Stella had her one year check up and everything looked good. Then we got a call from her pediatrician saying that she had high levels of lead in her blood. My husband and I are still in shock. Stella barely puts food in her mouth let alone toys. We don't have old paint chips lying around and she's not eating batteries. We are hoping that the other blood tests she had taken show that the screening at the doctor's office were false positives. What I thought was even more shocking is that most of the moms I talked to said their kids have never been tested for lead poisoning.
