Sam's Tests

On Thursday, I took Sam to the endocrinologist. He was weighed and measured and he didn't seem to gain in height or weight. Dr. Parker did the blood tests himself and got it the first time. This is such a rare occurrence. I was so excited that he only had to it once. I'm sure that Sam was as well. We are now waiting to hear from the tests. He said it could be a week, but that he would let us know as soon as possible. He suspected that Sam has low growth hormone and that he would probably need to be given this. I am trying to research this and did find out that this can some times happen after surgeries. I need to research if there are any risks to giving this hormone. If anyone has any information about this, Please send it our way. We are also trying to get him to an alternative doctor that Papa and Gramma Robinson have referred us to. Our pediatrician has said that the cardiologist wants to see us back if these tests come back normal. He does not think that the PDA would be the cause of this but he may need to take further action if necessary. Please continue to pray for Sam. He seems to get worn out so easily lately. I am hoping that he is just coming down with something. It is so hard not to worry about every little symptom he has. Hopefully, we'll get a diagnosis soon and Mommy can quit being a worryer(is that a word?:) I love you guys and am so thankful for your prayers!
