Endocrinologist




Zoe had a checkup with her Endocrinologist. More good news! The girl is still growing! She is now 28.8lbs (3rd%) and 38.2in tall (20th%). Yay!

Here are her previous stats for comparison:
5/12/11 28.8lbs 38.2in
2/8/11 28lbs 37.3in
11/4/10 27lbs 36.1in
8/5/10 23lbs 34.9in
5/5/10 22.5lbs 34.1in
2/5/10 21lbs 32.8in

So since we started the shots, Zoe has gained 7.8 pounds and grown 5.4 inches. Wahoo!

Once a year we need to do blood work to check Zoe's thyroids and her IGF1 levels (I might have just made that IGF1 up...it's something like that...you get the point). These can be affected by the shots. But we just got the results back and everything looks normal still. Whew. So we're going to keep trudging along like we have been. Zoe is still taking the 'princess medicine' like a champ. I only almost freak out every once in a while when I feel the needle go through the skin and Zoe cries. :) But seeing how much Zoe is growing makes it worth it!
