Growth Stim Test

Today Miss Áine Clare and I left for UCLA at 6am and returned home at 4pm. Her growth stimulation test was successful. The nurses used the vein Momma suggested and the flow was good. They were able to take two vials of blood every thirty minutes for a total of 8 times. Midway through the procedure she received a 30 minute IV of Argenine which made her not feel very good. And post blood draws she got plenty of IV fluids and her bottle. The results will allegedly be ready in two weeks, but I figure we won't hear anything until our appointment with the endocrinologist on January 28th.


Vein successfully located. Off to a good start.



First blood pressure lowering med taking effect.




A rarity -- Áine sleeping somewhere other than her beloved bed.




So not a happy girl!
