Grayson's Endocrinologist Appointment

Grayson is such a strong little guy.  He had to go to the endocrinologist to make sure his weight/height were okay for his age.  They did a lot of tests and luckily he is okay.  His doctor was a little worried about his height and weight compared to last year, but it turns out a big part of it was the nurse didn't weigh and measure him appropriately.  Part of the problem is the doctor's office does not have as sophisticated equipment as the endocrinologist office.  They did a bone scan and one good thing is his bone age is 5 years when his actual age is 6 years, which means he still has room to grow.  We will continue to monitor his height and weight and hope that he continues to grow on the growth chart.  When they took the blood they had a hard time collecting the blood and had to take it from several veins.  He was sitting on my lap and screaming...it was so sad!  Luckily they found a vein that worked.  The bone scan was very easy and there were no tears shed. Our little boy is a trooper and such a strong little guy.  We love him so much.
