Thank you for responding to my message.  It really helps to have people that understand what you are going through and I mean really know.   My son’s endo called me back last evening and said to get the plasma renin activity level and a metabolic panel today.  They had to poke him 2 times for the labs.  Gosh, it shouldn’t be that hard at age 9.  I just bite my tongue because I know how it is on their side as well.  At least he didn’t pass out.  We will not get that test back for at least a week.  All the while he is still not in school because he says he is too tired and pretty much rests on the couch all day.  I don’t know if I should make him go, my gut instincts tell me to keep him home with me, but our school system is very strict with attendance even with a medical IEP.  Anyway, thank you again!
