Well we FINALLY have got a dr to WRITE down that sd is small for her age YA THINK!! ::)

I could of TOLD EVERYONE THAT!! Ok off my rant, anyway we are getting ready to go to a few appts to investigate this a bit more... First one is a bone xray, to find out her "bone age" whatever the heck that means!! ::)

Will be doing that one today...

The other one is a dietician, I am kinda torn on that one, sure they are going to say well feed her!! As if I am intentionally starving the kid or something... ;D Also worried about my "cooking style", I admit I STINK at cooking

there I said it, aint no betty crocker living in my house!! I also say I DONT HAVE TIME!! I get home between 5 and 530 and the GOAL (stress on the goal since it doesnt happen regularly :-/

) is to have the kids in bed by 830.... Throw in homework, baths, MY actually getting to eat (novel idea huh?), nope not alot of full course meals running through my house...

No one else but sd, looks like they need more food though! Wish I had her problem...

Anyway just a little update, and it seems we have MORE appointments to go to... Not really sure that is a good thing, I am about appointmented out!! 8-)

Anyone else been through this type of testing and what not?

No I haven't heard of this testing~~~and I want to let you know that Betty Crocker don't live here either so whoever she is staying with please send her onto the next house ;D ;D ;D Levi is also underweight. Dr. gives me these copys of higher fat foods for him to eat~~yea right like he is the pickest eater. Although since I have only been giving him ritalin he has gained 6 pounds

our goal is to reach 10 pounds by thursday so I am making cookies (out of the package) for him to snack on. Good luck with all your appts.

:-XCats, my niece(my goddaughter) just got through bone xray, it´s not a biggie :-X

She has a tumor(bening) in her brain(had it from the birth) and in the route of not letting the tumor grow too much doc´s gave her some hormon-treatment that stopped her growth too(luckily it DID affect the tumor too), so now they got the bone xray to see what really is her bone-age, meaning how much will she be growing after all... sorry I cant explain this any better in english >:(

Other than that.... I like to cook, but I dont have the time, so no worries you´re not the only one...

Betty Crocker stops by ewveryso often, but I wish Mr. Clean would stop by too ;D ;D ;D

I wouldn't worry too much about the weight issues. If she is hungry she eats, if she isn't she doesn't.

When we first started dating Mike weighed 145 lbs :oI got him up to 175 finally........he has a very high metabolism :-/Wish it was mine :-/

As far as the bone scan, would they give you calcium suppliments or anything?
