We saw the endocrinologist Tuesday and I'm so happy to say that is was the best doctor appointment I've ever been a part of. Tristan's doctor spent an hour with him, talked directly to him, wrote a ton of notes, and asked a lot of questions. The care and concern that he has for what he does is completely obvious.
After the questioning he has decided to run a few more gastro tests to rule out other possibilities as to why Tristan isn't gaining weight (he's lost another pound from his yearly physical). He also completely disagreed with the radiologist's findings about the bone age. The radiologist said it was normal for Tristan's age but Dr. B reads it as the bone age of a 9 1/2 year old (you should have heard Tristan laugh out loud when the doctor said this). This is in our favor and is good news. He says that Tristan will grow (probably to be taller than Josh) and depending on the additional testing there are treatments and help available.
Our next step- 11/15 we will be in Denver for a 4 hour growth hormone test plus the gastro stuff. Tristan is so excited!!!!

Can't wait to hear about the results and that Tristan is being such a good sport about all of it.
