Tests

Yesterday and this last week has been a little stressful. As most of your know our Claire has always been small. When she was born she weighed 5lbs 8oz but healthy and happy and that is the way has been since. At her 15 month visit the doctor was concerned because she didn't gain anything she only got taller. To me it wasn't a big deal because she got 2 huge molers in the last 2 months and hasn't been sleeping or eating the best, but he suggested tests and so we got blood drawn which came back normal and we needed to get a chloride sweat test which they only do at Phoenix Children's Hospital. So Tim happened to get Friday off and we were all able to go get this test. They make you sweat and then measure the chloride that you produce to get a result. She had these Popeye arms for about 20 mins while the stuff worked to make her sweat under the bandages. We find out tomorrow the answer whether we need to worry more or she is just going through a stage where all she wants to do is play and run around while we chase her around trying to get a few bites in.
