Katie's weight check..............

I took Katie for her weight check today at the pediatrician's office. Unfortunately, she ONLY gained two ounces in two weeks. :( However, we did get her bloodwork results from last week. Ironically, her bloodwork is showing "hypothyroidism" I believe, which is actually an underactive thyroid which contradicts Katie's problem. An underactive thyroid would make it hard for Katie to LOSE weight, instead of gain weight. Ugh-so no answers there. The next thing the ped is concerned with is her Carbon Dioxide level. Apparently, hers came back low. A low CO2 level could indicate kidney problems. Ped was talking about how the Ph in her urine is acidic, therefore causing the CO2 to be low for some reason. Something about fat being lost in her urine, I g uess why she isn't gaining weight. IDK-in any event, the ped wants all the bloodwork re-done (we're going tomorrow.........) before we start putting her through massive tests. Ped did mention maybe there is lab error with the results. Let's hope so! :)
