Endocrine Appointment

Today was Abby's endocrine appointment. Several of her other doctors were determined that the cause of her restricted growth was a hormone or endocrine cause. The doctor we met with came very highly recommended and was very nice. A little curt, but nice. We went through Abby's growth charts, history, diagnoses, etc. Long story short the doctor felt that although she lingers as an outlier on the growth curve she is just tiny with a very efficient metabolism. She said that because she is taller than she is heavy that the cause is likely not a hormone imbalance. So for now she just wants to monitor with no more testing. (HOORAY FOR NO BLOOD TESTS!!!)

So I am thrilled that no new tests or problems arose. That being said we go back to the drawing board with the temperature regulation, sleep issues and thirst and hunger regulation.
