Growing?

James went to see an endocrinologist a couple weeks ago and they sent us to do some blood work and get a hand X-ray. We finally got the results back and his blood work showed his thyroid is working normal but his X-ray shows his bone are the age of a three and a half year old so he has some growing problems. They want his to do a 5 hour test in a couple weeks where they give him different medications and see how his pituitary gland does with them. Once he's finished that they will put him on a growth hormone to help him grow. He has an MRI next Friday and then he has a bunch of other tests a week from Monday. Since he's one year post radiation he has to have a bunch of different things done. He fell down some stairs the other day and scraped up his face really bad. He doesn't do well with stairs because his balance isn't very good still. He starts school in a week and is so excited! He's so excited to ride a school bus. Other than that he is doing great. He is having fun playing and being our sweet boy.

New doctors

We have been living in Utah for almost two weeks. Trying to get new doctors for James is quite difficult. His new oncology finally called me back and they have a bunch of stuff they need James to do. He has to get an MRI, spinal tap, and an echo. He sees the endocrinologist on Friday to see why he's not growing. Most likely he will have to take growth hormones. The only doctor we are having trouble with is his old ophthalmologist. The one in Mesa just won't call me back so I can get records to his new doctor. It's extremely frustrating! Other than that he's doing really good. He has fun and likes going to the park close to the house. We are trying to get things set up for school also and hopefully it all works out!
