Well as some of you may know I have been worried about E and her hormones because of the nature of her underdeveloped eye. We had an endocrine consult about a month ago and we got signed up for lab draws, x-rays, and urine samples. ( Can I just say getting a urine sample on an unpotty trained kiddo is difficult, especially when they don't give you a straight Cath kit or anything but a leaky pee bag.) Anyway, so tests for various hormone levels and growth levels were done (Can I say how well she did with her blood draw and x-ray! She just whimpered when the needle went in and she stayed perfectly still with her x-ray so it only took one pole and one x-ray shot. She did better then many of my adult patients have done when I have put in an iv. Anyway yay for brave little E.) and then it was a waiting game. Well results are in and everything is normal except her growth factor is on the low side. Growth plates are where they should be at and her thyroid and ADH levels and growth hormone levels are normal. Phew!!! What a relief. We still have a follow up but so far she is not a worry. I kinda thought she was ok but I wanted to make sure her levels were normal brcause if the problems it could cause down the road. So mommy feels better.
So on to my fist love of my life's birthday. Well my hubby is the big 32. We have found that low carb and grain free really help to stop his constantly burning esophagus. So I made a low carb oreo cake for him. I was pretty proud because it turned out tasty, but it also took a lot of work because I had to make the oreos from scratch as well as the cake and frosting. But anyway he was excited to have a cake that didn't send him into a sugar and heartburn coma. We were able to spend most of the week together as a family because he kept having meetings cancelled, so it was truly a party week. He is such a sweet amazing man I was happy to have him home. Happy birthday my hunting buddy, my co-piolet, my silly crazy companion. Love you.
