I feel like the only thing I have written about lately is doctor appointments, well today was finally Braxton's endocrinologist appointment. They look all his measurements and of course he is still in the 90% for height and weight. The first time they measured him he was only at 50% so I told the doctor that he is usually at 90% so they remeasured and of course he was at 90%.
I guess things went good, it was a standard new patient appointment so we won't find anything out until the bloodwork comes back. He was referred by his doctor after I brought up the cyst found on his pituitary gland. The endocrinologist, ordered bloodwork for all pituitary hormones along with a urine test. He did great with getting his blood drawn but the urine test was a little difficult. They had to put a bag on him since he isn't potty trained, well he wouldn't go so we ended up leaving. By the time we got home he had peed but instead of all the pee staying in the bag some ended up all over his shorts. Luckly there was enough in the bag that I didn't have to put another bag on him.
The endocrinologist is also going to send the MRI to neuro to have them reread the MRI. If they believe that the finding looks like a cyst then she will order a new MRI to see if there has been any change in the cyst.
The only area of concern she has at this time is the size of his scrotum, she believe it looks a little underdeveloped. She said that can be a cause of the pituitary gland and by looking at it, it looks as if the actual testicles don't descend very often. Of course at this age it really doesn't have any effect on him but she mentioned having urology take a look at it.
We should hear back in the next few weeks, so just keep him in your prayers.
On a lighter note, the FSU game was great on Saturday. Nathan, Matt, and I all went while Braxton and Liam stayed with my friend, Lisa, who still lives in Tallahassee. I love those 8 o'clock games but the drive home is always a killer.
