Last week Ryleigh had two appointments at SickKids. We saw the FTT in the morning and they were very pleased with her growth. She weighed in at 20lbs and 76cm long. This puts her around the 10th percentile for weight and 5th for length. So she has made some decent gains. They suggested resuming the prevacid to help with the recent increase in vomiting. We are to follow-up in 3 months time.
In the afternoon we saw Endocrinology. They were also pleased with her growth. The have some minor concerns with her hormone levels, which were tested again. It could be from the failure to thrive and her levels may have increased now that her size has. They were also going to watch her thyroid levels. We are to begin testing her blood sugar again, especially when she shows symptoms of high/low levels such as sleepiness, sweating, thirst, irritability more than normal, or the shakes. We do not follow up with them for 6 months (to get a better picture of her growth over time). We are to call if she has more sugar issues though.
After the blood work we were able to head home. It was a looong day. She is back at the end of the month for her abdominal ultrasound.
