Hello Everyone,
We have been doing good and have been busy.  Keirsten has been struggling a little with diarrhea last last couple of days, so we have been having to stress does her with the cortef (steroid) because she has had a couple of crashes or lows.  We have been able to get her back to normal fairly quickly after her crashes.  We have also been struggling with her DI.  We have been playing phone tag with her endo.  He did raise the DDAVP, but she was still having pee accidents during the day and drinking a lot.  I am going to ask the endo when they call back about a different form of DDAVP.  Right now she is on the pills, but there is a nasal spray or a shot that might hold her better.  We also made sure she did not have a UTI when we went to her well check on Thursday, so that is not why she has the pee accidents.  The well check was good.  Her pediatrician was happy with her growth.  Keirsten had 4 shots and did great.  Of course she did, I was not the one giving the shots.  The nurse said that Keirsten was the best kid she ever had to give kindergarten shots to. 

After the well check she had a dentist apt.  That went well also. No cavities.  I was so glad to hear that.

This week Keirsten goes to see GI and we also have to get some lab work done to check some more hormone levels for the endo apt at the beginning of July. 

Thanks so much for checking up on us and praying for us.

Carolyn and Keirsten.

 p.s  I stared a blog because I want to keep Keirsten's cb page mostly about her and her medical issues.  The blog is more about what we as a family are doing.  There is a section on the blog that has a list of of people I pray for.  All you have to do is click on their name and you go right to their web page.  You you would like to be added just let me know.  You might already be there.
