Tristan

We got the much anticipated phone call from the endocrinologist last night.  Tristan failed the growth hormone test; he is definitely deficient in his growth hormone.  I am completely shocked - I really thought that it would come back normal, that he's small due to genetics.

Of all of the blood draws that were taken he needed to score a 10 on one of them to pass the test.  It didn't matter what any of the other numbers came to.  The highest that Tristan got was 6.2, wow.

So, we have to schedule a MRI to make sure that there's no other reason that his pituitary gland isn't working properly (a tumor or what not).  Then, we will start the growth hormone injections after we complete all of the education and insurance hoops we have to jump through. 

Now I'm curious if Aidan has the same issues.
