's visit with Dr H

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

saw Dr H on Wednesday. This was our best visit ever!!!

First, we only waited 45 minutes to see her. If it was like this

every visit we would be thrilled!!

Second, in the last 3 months gains 5.5 POUNDS!!! is now

officially off all daytime bolus feeds. As a matter of fact, Dr H

wants us to weigh at home. She said if he continues to gain

at this rate, we should call her and we will start reducing his

nighttime feeds as well. She said that we are well on our way to

being able to start weaning him off his pump.

Third, he grew another inch. He is currently growing at a rate of 4

inches per year.

Four, we had Becca with us. Usually Dr H complains about Becca's

weight. This time she was complimentary. Said the Becca grew and

slimmed down.

The only downside was that Dr H notice some skin tags on my neck and

said that I am probably insulin resistent. She wants to do the OGTT

test on me when she does 's (but I don't know when that is

going to be).

All of this means that we don't have to deal with the school nurse

on a daily basis when he starts kindergarten in September.

Just wanted to share GOOD news for a change.

Judith,

That is wonderful news about - and ! It's nice to read

about something good on a dreary day like this. And what a relief not

to have to worry about daytime bolus feedings. Your little boy is

growing up!

Don't worry too much about the skin tags. I have them, too, but I

don't have insulin resistance. Come to think of it, I better make an

appointment to have them removed before I take Max to see her on

October 10 or she will get on my case, too! But at least I can tell

her that I've already been tested.

Hi Judith,

Congratulations are definitely in order for . We had our appt that day

too. It went well also, though he didn't grow that much from last visit. Dr.

H advised Jordan take tums to increase his calcium intake since he doesn't

drink milk and wrote a order for vitamin D drops which was not covered by my

insurance and is VERY expensive - $99 for a 60ml bottle which the pharmacy got

for me cheaper than usual. Have you scheduled 's next appointment in Nov

yet? Jordan is scheduled to do OGTT in Nov.
