[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 141111, member: 2423"] Good Thursday morning! Sharon, I hope your schedule settles down a bit. You need a break. Glad you got to bed early last night. Linda, it sounds as if you and kt are enjoying art together. I hope the Mayo appointments yield some good info for you. The girls and I spent yesterday at the day hospital at NIH in Bethesda, MD for a growth hormone stimulation test. The girls are very small for their ages and have been followed by a pediatric endocrinologist there for the last couple of years. At their last appointment in early March, the endo ordered a bone-age study, from which she can predict adult height. The latest predictions came in very low well under 5 feet tall. Yesterday's test involved having an IV put in, medications fed through the IV and blood drawn every 15 to 30 minutes. One of the medications was Clonidine, which as some of you know, is a blood pressure medication that can cause sedation. A in particular became very sleepy and her blood pressure wouldnt come back up after the test was over. So we were at the day hospital even longer (from about 8 am to 3:30 pm) getting IV fluids to get her blood pressure back up. Once we got home, both girls fell asleep again! We wont have the test results for a few days, but it looks as if we're facing growth hormone therapy (6 shots a week for a couple of years!) to help the girls grow. I hope you have a peaceful day. Hi if you snuck in. [/QUOTE]
