Endo & ENT

It has been a busy week with doctors. Mon. we say the Endocrinologist and the good new is her blood work is normal, and so is her MRI of her pituitary gland. The bad news is that makes it harder to get growth hormone (GH). It's starting to look more unlikely that we are able to try GH. The doctor is going to take it to a review board. If he is willing to prescribe the GH. It is almost a for sure our insurance will not cover it. Now the drug companies if they have a prescription from the doc will usually do a clinical trial for 6 months which is all we need to see if the medication makes a difference. I go and see the Endo again in a couple weeks and i'll know more on that.

Today we went to the ENT. Emma has had her tubes in her ears for 6 years which is 3 years to long. Long story why we haven't gotten them out yet. The good news is we are scheduled for SURGERY next Friday. Because they have been in way to long they will remove the tubes then take some cartilage from behind her ears and patch the hole in her eardrum in hopes that the eardrum heals without a permanent hole. She will be aloud back to school on Mon. if she wants, so this is not the big surgery. I did promise her a trip to Build A Bear for a new outfit for Snuggles. This made her o.k. with the fact she had to have surgery!
