XP: What were your LO's lead test results?

I posted this on 9 - 12, but thought I might get more response on here since the lead tests are usually do at 1 year.

DD's came back at a 3. The pedi said it's usually lower than 3 for children her age, so she is going to do a different type of test at her 12 month appt., to see if it was just this test. She said it isn't alarming unless it's over 5, but she still wants to check it again.

We live in an older house, so that's why I'm worried about it. Obviously, lead poisoning is pretty serious, so I'm wondering if I should ask them to check it again immediately. 

I'm just wondering what your results were, and what your pedi said.

    The pedi never actually said that results... he just said that it's all within normal range. I should ask him...

    0.0, which I only know because the doc thought it odd it was so low.  I guess usually something registers.

    I don't know the number, but the first test came back abnormal, so they ran a CBC at the same appointment.  Something about it being a more accurate test.  Anyway, it was normal.  Maybe ask them to do a CBC (Complete Blood Count)?
