We went to the doctor with Indra yasterday evening! All went fine. He explained everything very well, and got us a bit more relaxed . There is no need to panic right anow, he said. Of course, she will have to change her diet drastically; but she has no death-risk in the first 10 coming years.
So, what are the plans: Indra will be put on a strict low-fat diet for about 3 months. No pills yet. After 3 months, her blood will be tested again . If she got the cholesterol level down it's okay. If not, she will be put on pills.
There is one MAJOR question, and it is one we CANNOT answer... . It is very important to know if her problem is hereditary!! If the answer is yes, she has to start the pills right away, and everything gets refunded.... . The problem: our Indra is adopted, and we know NOTHING about her family
I will try to contact the adoption agency, but I fear they won't be able to help; Indra was deathly sick when she was brought in at the orphanage, and it is likely that she has no family left...

This is making me sad..................;
