We received a call yesterday that Ella did not have enough growth hormone. They asked us to meet with an endocrinologist right away (today).
The end result of today's visit is that it's a "wait and see" thing. The dr believes it is due to the lingering effects of too little protein. He wants to see us back in 6 months. He is hoping she will do a lot of catch up growth in the next 6 months and that her human growth hormone will increase.
Ella loved her visit to the University of Minnesota Children's hospital. She loved the murals in the parking ramp and the rooms. There are so many neat toys in the lobby and exam room. She likes the doctors stethoscope which had a toucan flash light built in. So Ella was playing with the flashlight as he listened to her lungs.
