Quick Update!

Caleb's night wasn't as bad as it could have been. He ran a high fever, and coughed, lots, but the humidifier and the fact that he is older--I think--kept us from needing to do a croup run! Phew.

Plus both boys slept till nine, so I went back to sleep for a bit after Beth caught the bus to school. That was definitely a plus.

Just got back from taking Jacob in for his sleepiness. The doctor decided to send him to the endrocrinoligist for Failure to Thrive (FTT). She had assumed that Caleb had gone to an endo, when he had actually gone to a gastro. She actually seemed disgusted that Caleb hasn't gone to an endo, so we plan on getting him a referral at his well visit in January. This confusion is a result of going to different peds in the same practice. Caleb sees one dr, Jacob another, and Beth yet another. I think we'll pull them altogether.

Rob and I decided to go to Duke Endo for Jacob after the mess with Caleb and the gastro at UNC. Nice person, but wouldn't run the tests we thought he needed (Human Growth Hormone tests). Chances are that they are both slightly deficient, though we think Jacob is a bit worse. But that part is just our speculation. Also we were impressed with the ENT at Duke that Jacob saw when they tested his hearing.  Jacob's appointment is next Tuesday. So we won't have to wait long to figure out. He also had three vials of blood drawn and a urinalysis done with results expected back next week so if it is something else, we will catch it then as well.
