Ella's appointment went much better than the previous one. I could tell it was going to be better, because the doctor came in and SAT down. The previous doctor stood the whole time and appeared to be in a hurry.
This doctor went over all of the notes before she came into the room, and checked out the results of every lab. She wants to run them all again and she added a few more. She is also sending us to a pediatric dietitian... my appointment is on Tuesday. She said there is a very in depth growth hormone test, which requires an I.V. etc. However, she wants to observe Ella's growth pattern a little longer before she does this test. I know I've said it before.... I don't want Ella to have any issues with these things, but I also don't want to miss anything.
So, here we go again. Let's hope that if there is something, it will show up, and if not then we will get her weight under control.
For my record, here are the tests she is doing:
ACTH
Cortisol
IGF-1
IGF binding protein-3 [igfbp-3]
Intact PTH
Free T4
TSH
Comprehensive metabollic panel
prolactin
By the way, sorry for being emotional in the last post... I was a little PMS. (And sorry to any guy who just read "PMS".)
