At 1 1/2 Deric is 3feet tall already. Apparently this can happen when a brain tumor is pushing down on the growth hormone so the Pediatrician phoned a Specialist at Children's Hospital. He said if Mom and Dad are tall, more than likely, baby is going 2b tall. You see, I am 5'10 and Dad is 6'4.The Pediatrician still would like to lean on the side of precaution and sent us to get blood work just to make sure there was not an over active Thyroid gland.
This ____ bleep of an MA had no idea what she was doing. I knew something was up when she read the referral and said, "Hmmm... what's this? I never seen this one before." Ugh!
She poked the left arm and couldn't get a vein, then poked again in the vein and couldn't get blood. While the tube was in his little vein she was maneuvering it around trying to extract blood w/no luck. I was pretty strong until this point... when her efforts were unsuccessful she had to start on the other arm. My poor baby was screaming, looking at me, as to say "Mommy help!" Ugh, I tear up just to think of it. His cry was so much that ALL the nurses came into the room and the head Nurse actually took over. Ugh, what-a-day!
I probably would have told her to stop and get someone else to do it. I've have mine done so many times I'm not willing to put up with incompetent people!
