More questions than answers

First I have to apologize for not updating after we went to the doctor on Friday. We didn't get any more answers and left with more questions than anything, I was exhausted and we didn't get home until late so I just went to bed.

We got to the hospital for testing (that was supposed to confirm the diagnosis the doctor gave us on Wed.) Apparently all of Avery's labs were 180 degrees different from what they have been in the past. We were there for over 2 hours and walked out knowing nothing. The endo has no idea why during the water deprivation test Avery continued to use the restroom but she no longer thinks that it is diabetes insipidus. UGH! So frustrating. When we left the doctors office on Wed she was 98% sure this is what she had, she even gave us the prescription to go and get filled because she knew we were going to need it. (Luckly we didn't open the medication so the doctor is going to buy it back from us so we don't have to waste that money.) So when asked why Avery was still drinking all the time and going to the restroom even more the medical diagnoisis.....STRESS! Seriously! I couldn't make that up if I tried!!! What in the world can a 3 year old seriously be stressed about? I could almost understand if her routine had changed even a little but it hasn't, it's the exact same as it has been for what seems like forever....much longer than 3-6 months. I have figured out "stress" must be the new buzz diagnois when doctors don't know the real answers.

So now what? That's what my question was too. Why even when Avery doesn't drink does she still go to the restroom all the time. No one seems to know. So now we have to go back to the primary care and get new referals (thank you HMO). Since we have already spent so much money and no one seems to think there is anything too serious (hince the reason we have to go back to get new referlas) we are going to wait to get them until Avery's 3 year check up on Tuesday. Next referals will be to the renal doctor to look at kidneys and liver and a urologist to check her bladder. Maybe someone some where will be able to give us some kind of real answers.

I'll post about Avery's birthday party tomorrow but there are pictures on Facebook if interested!!!
