Progress

James has been doing really well. He went and saw the endocrinologist a couple weeks ago and the doctor told us that he has grown 3/4 of an inch. Which is great and means the growth hormones are working. He upped his dosage a little bit. The only bad news was James' recent blood work now shows he has hypothyroidism so he takes medication for that now also. The doctor said it's pretty common for kids like James to have all of these different issues because they are all controlled by his pituitary gland which was damaged from treatment. It was nice though we knew he grew a little because all of a sudden his shoes were too small. He goes in to see his ophthalmologist next week and also his pediatrician for check ups. School is going great. We had an IEP meeting with everyone who works with James. He will not need to be in a special need kindergarten class next year because he is doing great. Obviously he does have some things still he needs help with that OT and PT are working on with him. He loves going to school and being with his friends. All his teachers just kept telling me how amazing and sweet James is(I already knew that)! He stopped doing physical therapy at the clinic just for a couple months and will restart in July. We got a letter in the mail yesterday saying it's time for us to schedule his next MRI. I feel like they come so fast. It always makes me anxious and worried but hopefully things will continue to be good for our sweet boy. He is just doing so well and it makes his whole family happy. We will try to keep you posted on results from all the different doctors.
