Doctors

Well today we spent 5 hours at various doctors. Shelby needed her Kindergarten Check-up an easy one! She passed with flying colors!

Sethy had an appointment with his neurologist today. He has Aspergers Syndrome in case you did not know. We have been major concerned about his lack of growth. He has only grown an inch in 2.5 years. So he is a 6 yr. Old boy in a size 3 yr. Old body. She has referred us to meet with an endocrinologist in October. They will check to see if he has a growth hormone disorder. They will do a bone age test to see if his bones are age six like his chronological age or age 3 like his size. They are also going to do a MRI of his brain to see if that can give any answers. This will also be able to tell if the stopping of growth may of been caused by the car accident. I've read (and believe me I've read a lot in the last year! :) ) that if it is the growth hormone imbalance, that could be what triggers his destructive behavior, which the growth meds will help. This is a step ahead and we are excited to find out some answers. I am very thankful for a great Pediatric Neurologist who understands we do not want to drug him to get him under control. She listens to our concerns and meets are needs! Praise God!!!

Garrett had an MRI on his knee. which you can read about in the following post. The tech said the Doc should get the results by Thursday. Prayerfully we will get answers by then too.
Edited to add: Garrett's MRI results came back and all is well. He has a knee cap that is a little high and loose. He has to do some resistance exercises to strengthen but he is cleared to play sports.

Thanks for your prayers!!
