I like this one, too. Is there a way to filter out XXX messages? Hope so. My son Connor (age 2 on 4-16-99) is going for his endo check-up on the 12th. His last bone age was at 1 year old.(It was normal) His last renin was in December, and he has never done a 24 hour urine. Do I need to request any of these or anything else? He has 21 hydrox-salt losing. Also at the visit in Dec. his 17-OHP had jumped to 20,000. Why the heck did it do that?! I give his meds religiously and stress dose exactly when I should. They put him on Dexamethasone for 10 days and it went down to 1400's. He has normally been in good control. One more thing-- I begin to get nervous a couple of weeks before each appt. He seems so normal to me at home and then the big trek up to UNC Children's Hosp with all the attendings, fellows, residents, blood draws, etc. makes me remember how scary this is. Does anybody else do this? Please humor me and tell me you do, too, so I don't feel crazy! Ha Ha!
