Update of the last post

Well, we took Daniel to the doctor and they ran some blood work and took bone age films of his hands and a picture of his stomach. Blood work came back saying that his platelet count was one point below the lowest point of the norm, his co2 was low, and his BUN levels were high. Don't ask me what any of that means. The doctor said that the bloodwork was normal. The picture of his stomach says he's constipated but I don't think that has much of anything to do with his pickyness. The bone age scan came back saying that the bony maturation is closer to that of a female 3 year old and the thumb base and carpals are closer to that of a 2 and a half year old. The doctor has decided to pass him off to a specialist but they haven't contacted me yet so we'll see. We're letting him eat what he wants and happily he's added some food to his menu of things that he will eat.
More posts coming soon.
