The trip was overall a really good trip..Mom and I got to do a little shopping so that was fun. Carters appointment with his new pediatric endocrinologist was much better than my mind thought it was going to be...I was actually getting anxiety right before his appt because his past doctor visits have been very traumatizing for him. Dr. Karmazin is an amazing doctor..he played with Carter first and earned Carters trust before he started checking him...they have child well life (or something like that) that came in and played with Carter and all that..His nurse Sarah played with bubbles with Carter (Carter loves bubbles)...and made the weighing and blood pressure check so much less stressful..As far as what we found out...Carter may not have a thyroid condition like me...he may have one, but for different reasons...we will know in a week or two...It is extremely rare for a boy his age to have a thyroid condition and so the doctor is checking everything..They did draw blood from Carter yesterday...they will check thyroid functions and all things related to growth hormone deficiency...they said it should take a week and a half to get some of these results back because they are sent all the way to california. If something obvious is found than growth hormone shots may start sooner, but if not (this may NOT be grwoth hormone) than his next appt is 6 months from now. I should say that Carters bone age in January (he would have been 26 months) was that of a 12 month old...and the other doctor in Omaha read his bone age as that of a 6 month old ( i guess!?!)...so potential to grow is still great I guess...this means according to his bones, hes got much growth ahead of him.
Carter has been doing much more walking already today! It is sooooooo exciting!
More to come!
