Endocrinology

We had good news from endocrinology today. Drew has been taking calcium every day, at least twice a day, since he was born. But today, we finally got the news that he may have outgrown his need for extra calcium. Yay! He is currently taking it twice a day so we were told to do it once a day for a week and then we will check his blood calcium levels next Friday. If that looks ok, we will discontinue it all together and check his blood the following Friday. And if that looks good then we can discontinue the calcium completely and we will be down to only two medications! AND the doctor said he'd like to see us in six months and that may be the last time we ever have to see endocrinology!

After our appointment I took the kids to the zoo to meet some friends. It was a beautiful day, but a little windy. Ava loved the penguins, the flamingos, the parrots and the tigers. She was so cute and was saying bye to all the animals. Drew loves the lions and tigers and the crocodile. He mostly just had fun being with his buddies. We had a picnic lunch and ended the afternoon by taking a ride on the train. Both kids were exhausted and fell asleep in the car on the way home!
