-- Hilary's Latest Medical Information --

July 7, 2006

Hilary saw her endocrinologist yesterday. She has not grown any taller in the last two visits! That is good, as it indicates no more excess growth hormone! Secondly, even though Hilary's steroid dose is being slowly weaned, her blood sugar levels have been creeping up, enough to put her back on a long-acting night time dose of Insulin. This will necessitate her checking a finger-stick blood sugar once in the morning before breakfast. Hilary was kind of bummed about this, but Dr. Akright reminded her that the Insulin will probably help with her energy level and possibly improve her eyesight, as well. Blood was drawn and we should hear about that in 10-14 days. We will pass on the info as we get it.

Love and thanks,
the Morrows
