Happy Updates

Jerry and Isaac both saw the endocrinologist again for their ongoing growth concerns.  They both grew pretty well!  However, they both have to be rechecked in 6 months.  The doctor is reluctant to believe that Isaac's one year of no growth was a fluke so we need to watch a little longer.  But at least no invasive testing or horrible spit cortisol testing!  Jerry grew but is lower on the growth chart percentage wise.  he is about 2 % for weight and 3% for height.  He still never has a huge appetite.  He eats better than he used to but never any huge amount and hardly anything for breakfast.  So the doctor wants him to try the appetite stimulant again that he took years ago.  we never were sure how much it helped and it always did seem to wear off when it did work.  I gave it to him two nights but he seemed to feel so sick the next morning and for sure ate worse than normal all day on those days.  I just heard back from the doctor and he still wants me to try to give it to him at a little lower dose.  Happy for him that they did not want to repeat the very invasive IV test that we tried to do with him some time around a year ago.

Jerry hasn't had too many of the vomiting, sweaty, sick episodes lately.  No one really knows why he has them.


I am so proud of both Isaac and Jerry.  At the Lake Erie Crushers game a few weeks ago, they had a koolaid sale and raised about $100 for heart disease!  They never complained the whole time and never asked for a cent of the profits!  We haven't decided where to donate the money yet...Little Hearts?  Children's Cardiomyopathy Foundation?  Wish I could find a way to get a company to double the amount!
Enjoy the pics!
