I too would be worried. I would encourage you to get copies of the results just to make sure they have not dismissed a low-normal as OK. Low-normal B12, especially for an 8 year old would suggest further investigation is needed. And a high-normal to high levels of folate or B12 can indicate a utilization problem.

It's good to get copies of all results so you can track the trends. You're really the only one who will see the entire picture of his health because you spend the most time with him. So all his CBC's, chem panels, BMB's etc., would be good to have.
