Thank goodness my hubby was able to go with me! My son did surprisingly well...he cried, of course, but not thrashing around, tantrum like I had expected. They only needed 4 vials (they were nice enough to find out the absolute minimum they needed beforehand, since he's so small). They also had the neatest little stick-on catch bag for the urine...I'd never seen anything like it before! I had wondered how they wanted me to get urine in a 2.5yo who cares nothing about using the potty. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/orngtongue.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Stick Out Tongue"><br><br>
Anyway, they've got 12 tests to run, and we are waiting to hear back about orders for his bone age x-ray. Then our ped endo appt is June 4 at 8am (that's gonna be fuuuun...DS usually isn't even awake by then!) But at least DH can take that morning off to go with us so I don't have to go alone, especially if I hear bad news.<br><br>
Because DS doesn't seem to have any other issues other than just being very tiny, we doubt there is anything SUPER serious going on, and are truely expecting just a constitutional growth delay diagnosis, but I'm definately concerned that he could have hormone issues. We have plans to go to Australia for a year in January, and I'm sure a diagnosis like that would pretty much kill our chances of going because we'd never be able to get insurance , and I doubt they'd even let us in the country with a kid needing that kind of maintenence care. *sigh*<br><br>
So now we just wait and see.
