Back from the appointment

We're back from the appointment...I'm in tears. The endocrinologist suspects the same thing we/pediatrician did - Turner's Syndrome. It's still not a diagnosis until the test results come back, but to have a specialist confirm it is enough to make me tear up.

We did her blood draw today, as well as test her sugars. She came home with a meter so we can test her here, too. She's pretty upset by the whole thing - but only the needles part. She still seems to be somewhat oblivious to what's going on and I'll keep it that way for now. She did say, however, that she did get bothered by people always saying how small she was. That's the first time I've heard her say it bothers her.

We won't know anything for two weeks. Two week wait - thought I was done with that!

I'll keep you posted as I find out anything.

Jujube, I know it's what was suspected and I know it's not what we prayed for, but I'm sure we'll find a silver lining in this somewhere. Stay strong sista! Love you guys!

Oh, Julie! I'm so sorry! I know that God has a plan. You and Emma are so strong and are so supportive of each other, I'm sure God sees that & knows you are perfect for His plan. Even though we don't understand He does.

Prayers are still going up for you guys!

Extra Squeezes and Smooches for both you and Emma!
