Emerence Dr Appt results!

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Emerence had her ENT, Genetics and Endocrin appts today (two

different locations though!). ENT was great, new ear tubes are

still in and her hearing test shows no hearing loss (something they

were worried about). The genetics with Dr. Irons (Childrens B oston)

went really well, this she actually thinks that Emerence may lean

more towards the RSs than the SGA side because of her fingers,

forehead and asymmetry but really wanted to rule out any other

possible metabolic issues (her Co2 is borderline low - I know we have

been reviewing this issue online lately) that might also be causing

her to be small. We also took blood for the UPD7 test and will know

in about 3 weeks. Then, I had thought from previous emails with the

endocrin she was really not going to prescribe GH in the future if

Emerence were to need it but she was wonderful! She said she would

prescribe it for Emerence providing she was still SGA with no catchup

and all side effects had been discussed. HOwever, since we have a

while before this becomes an issue (EMerence is 19 mo old) she said

she was going to do a lot of research on this to become more educated

on RSS/SGA and GH.

AND, Emerence now weighs 18 lb 11 oz 28.75 " YIPPEE! 19 mo old 1 wk

SGA, possible RSS
