GI

Somehow, I forgot to mention Ethan's appt with the pediatric GI. Besides the fact that we had to wait TWO HOURS to see him (he was on time until the patient before us!), it went great. He is in agreement that Ethan is most likely just adjusting to his genetics. So no more tests for now. But he does want to follow him for a while. And because he works closely with our regular pedi (he actually sees patients as a regular pedi himself at our office), he has learned to trust her instincts. So, just in case her gut is right, he gave me a list of things that he would want to know about right away and his personal pager number.

So that's it! Ethan's a healthy boy. My assumption is that if he continues to not gain weight the next step would be a close monitoring of his diet, rather than tests. Whew!
