Hemoglobin Test Results

Happy news today as the nurse from Izzy's genetics doctor called us at about 4am to say our blood test (we all three had to be tested) for Russell Silver Syndrome came back normal! This means Izzy is all clear and there is no underlying genetic or medical reason (other than being born small for gestational age) for her to be so petite. Not only is this a big relief for me after two years of visiting many different doctors but it also means we can get command sponsorship for our stay here in Korea which brings added benefits and peace of mind.

Here she is just one day old with her big sister.

Hormone Test

I just realized that once again I forgot to do my hormone test today. The nurse practitioner wants me to chew on these cotton things three times in a day and return them to the office. Only problem is I don't remember until nine o'clock at night. Maybe it is my subconscious protecting me though because when I go in to return that sample I have to have my blood drawn. When I was in the office on Wednesday the nurse got nothing and the lab tech grabbed my wrist so hard it bruised. But if either of those two are there again I'm not going to even try.

House is ready for the movers. I can't believe how much we got done today. The Kids and I are going to hide at the neighbor's tomorrow. So glad it isn't me handling the movers this time!
