one pound
Monday was our day to see the Endocrinologist. She had scheduled blood work to be done while we were there to check Drew's hormone levels and make sure that they were on track. So when we got there the nurse took Drew's height and weight and all his vital signs. Come to find out, since we've seen the dietitian...two weeks ago, Drew has gained 1lb!!! I know, most of you are thinking, "Wow, one measly pound," but for us that is a huge deal.This dumbbell is one pound...that is how much Drew has gained!! So, Dr. Seiler, the endocrinologist, said that since the stuff the dietitian gave us to do is working for now, she wouldn't draw any blood. And told us to come and see her again in 5 months! Doug and I have been so excited! And Drew is improving so much in his eating. For lunch yesterday he downed three giant pizza bites, and all of an apple! What an accomplishment! So thank you to the dietitian for helping my son gain weight!!!
