We heard back from the doctor regarding the x-ray of her growth plate. It appears the growth plate is still open and she will still grow, but they concluded that she is 2 years behind on her growth. We already figured that much, but it's good to know that she will for sure grow some more even if it's behind schedule.
We also started testing her blood sugars for about 4 days this last week and they were okay for the most part. Interestingly enough, they went low (into the 50's) twice last Sunday. Both times were just one hour after she ate, which is weird. She was supposed to test 2 hours after she ate but both times she complained about being dizzy so I told her to test and sure enough: Low. She was fine the rest of the week and never went about 182. We were told to call if it was about 200, so so far so good on that. They weren't quite as concerned about it being low and obviously we just need to give her some juice or something to quickly get her sugar levels normal again. I say interestingly enough because he has complained about being dizzy off and on for about 2 years now and I'm sure this is why. We suspected it already and we have addressed it with her doctors, which is why we are watching her so closely. Along with the results of her last 4 hour glucose test, she is definitely symptomatic. We are still just trying to get her to eat more protein and less sugar, but once again is very hard with such a picky gal! :)
