New Update............

Another UPDATE ON DYLAN....

After getting home from the pediatrician today, Dylan's endocrinologist from Duke called me. She ordered blood work to be done locally the other day and she got the results back. She ordered testing on his levels of cortisol and ADTH (Adrenocorticotropic hormone), these should typically be an average of
15 for Dylan's age, she is ok with readings as low as 10, however, Dylan's readings were 5, which is VERY LOW! 

So she sent a prescription to the local CVS for a hormone tablets, and told me to have Dylan take 3 of these in the next 24 hrs, with the first dosage being tonight. She also ordered and emergency injection kit with the pills, she told me if Dylan gets sick and starts throwing up from the meds, that I need to immediately inject him with the injection. The doc told me if the meds are working that he should start feeling better by tomorrow and we can lower the dosage of the medication.

However, if he does not get any better, then there is a problem bigger than his hormones. His endocrinologist is on call this weekend at Duke, so she told me to check in with her tomorrow about Dylan's status, and of course call her for any complications. So, I have to go to 2 different pharmacies right now to get these for Dylan and give them to him tonight.I just gave Dylan his first set of 3 tablets, then he has to have 3 more in the morning and 3 more tomorrow afternoon, will keep you all updated on his status.
