We saw the doctor for a weight check this morning, she's gained one ounce.. Yippie.
Doc said her thyroid test came back normal, but it's a very basic test and she is sending us to see an Endocrinologist who can look for hormone imbalances and metabolic disorders. We should be getting a call to make an appointment at The Children's Hospital in Chicago within the next two weeks.
She also wants us to see a Geneticist at The Children's Hospital to look at her genes and rule out genetic diseases or disorders. Unfortunately, the wait list for an appointment is a few months...
I get a headache imagining how long this could take to get any solid answers. Part of me wants to throw in the towel and say, obviously she's just small. But the doctor today told me again what I already know: even small babies have a growth pattern. They don't just quit growing for going on 7 months and have horizontal growth charts with no cause. Unless of course, she's a mini freak of nature! (Which I'm kinda pulling for...)
