Lazy Sunday

Samantha and her daddy spent some time watching football yesterday.  Don't they look comfy?  Does she still look just like him?

We took it pretty easy this weekend.  Friday, Samantha and I had an epic 5 1/2 hour trip to the Houston Medical Center for an endocrinology appointment.

The great news:  The major endocrine panel they ran this summer indicates that overall her hormone levels are normal.  No small feat given that the location of her bleed was very near the area of the brain that regulates hormone production.  Woot! 

The not-so-great news:  The one test we were really concerned about just didn't work.  Not that the results were bad, they just didn't have any.  So, after being an absolute gem strapped into a car seat, a stroller, being poked and prodded, etc for 3 hours, they sent her for another blood draw.  Ugh.  There's a message for you -- can't wait to see how good she is the next time we try this.

I cancelled her GI appointment scheduled for today.  She's still not gained weight, but she's no longer vomitting all the time, and the loss seems to have stopped.  I just don't think there's really a GI problem.  Hopefully this isn't a mistake.  It took months to get this appointment, so the decision would be slow to un-do.

We bought an infant scale for the house, and it arrived Friday, so we'll be able to monitor her and hopefully stuff her chock full of goodies.so we can get some meat on those bones.  She still weighs just a few ounces more than on her first birthday, but she is still getting taller.

Will the 2nd one be easier?
