9/25 Took Aly to Developmental Peds today. They agree she is quite behind in her milestones and thinks she needs PT. Great. But then they say she needs a brain MRI and to see neurology. Okay..... why? I get informed that they will be looking for a lesion. My first thought is cancer, and I voice that. Her response was, "oh no. We will be looking for a lesion from some type of trauma." WHAT!?!? Basically they are telling me they are seeing if she is abused!?!? I am terribly terribly frustrated! I am with my children 24/7. Why is it automatically abuse when a child does not fit textbook???? Anyways, please pray for us. The MRI will have to be with sedation and is scheduled for a month from now on the 29th.... and at almost lunch time with nothing to eat after midnight.... seriously do not think that is going to work! But anyways, I am now officially STRESSED!
Hi all! My youngest child, Aly, turned one the end of June. Like my other children, she has always been skinny and tall for her age... But now she has quit growing and is considered FTT (Failure to Thrive). There will be tests run on Friday morning and then as soon as MUSC can get it scheduled, she will also be tested for cystic fibrosis. On one hand, we are praying it is due to my adrenal issues, and on the other hand I feel like I am failing her. I know that God will see us through all of this, as He always does and He promises not to leave us. But please pray for Aly! She is such a sweet and content child! She loves to make people laugh and loves to give cuddles. She is now 28.3 inches long and barely over 15.5 pounds.

Sweet Shannon, my prayers are with you and your whole family. The idea that you have somehow failed Aly is a lie straight from you know where. God is with you, and He has a plan and a purpose in this. Feel free to e=mail me if you need a shoulder or an ear.
Blessings,

Thank you ladies! It is so nice to come here and get prayers! My extended family seems to think I should just put her on formula... but I cannot get them to understand it is not a supply issue, and on top of that, she refuses to take a bottle. Then my aunt and I were discussing the possibility of Aly having cystic fibrosis..... to which my aunt reminds me that God may have a child be really sick and die young so that others will be led to Him. I know this and understand that He may indeed use a child's illness and/or death to bring others closer to Him, but oy that was no comfort at the moment!!!! Anyways, if I can figure out how to work this, I'd like to post a picture of my Aly :)

Shannon, Oh my dear, my prayers are going up for little Aly and for you all to make the doctors to really find out what the real diagnosis is and knowing God is watching over her and holding her in his arms while this is all going on.
I love her picture she looks like a happy little sweetie, God is there with you all.
blessings and prayers

What a sweet angel!
Prayers that she starts to gain, and that you find answers.

Oh what a morning! She got catheterized today along with blood work. Looks like she has a UTI, but is asymptomatic, which means there may be something anatomically going on. So now they want an ultrasound and vcug done. However, a uti should not be affecting her weight. We will see how everything else comes back!

Shannon, try and hang in there while doctors work to find out what is really at the heart of the problem here with your little sweetie. Try not to let your fears get ahead of you while the tests are happening. Once they know what the problems are, then they can talk about solutions and a plan of care to address them. Pediatrics is a very sophisticated branch of medicine and we know so much more than in the past about congenital and genetic defects. Children today are living, thriving and growing up to have normal lives with many kinds of problems. Lifting you and your family up in prayer for some answers soon and I join the others here in keeping up the vigil of hope!

Shannon,
Your daughter is beautiful. What a sweet little girl!! She looks happy and content in her picture. I am thinking of you and your family. You have not failed her in any way, she looks too happy for that to be the case. I'm sure your aunt meant the best but it came out wrong. Sorry you had to deal with that. I am sending positive thoughts your way!!
