Endocrine appointment

This morning we had Collin's endocrinology appointment and dietitian meeting.  The dietitian gave us a few new foods to try with him to increase his calories and encouraged us to introduce three snacks per day to his current schedule of nursing every 3-4 hours and three meals.  The endocrinologist was pretty laid back and nonchalant about his growth, saying that he was perfectly healthy and happy and it was quite possible that he would either just be small or he would have a growth spurt suddenly.  If his length continues to fall on the chart we may do some testing for growth hormone deficiency, but that isn't something that needs to be done soon.  So, the final verdict was to attempt to increase his food intake and return to see the dietitian in a month, but not to come back to the endocrinologist unless his percentages continue to drop.  Awesome!
