Abby is still tiny and now on top of her growth issues, she has some breast tissue on the right side of her chest. Only the right side, which is a little perplexing as usually it is both sides of the chest. She definitely has a breast bud on that right side, so we are taking her to a Pediatric Endocrinologist and the soonest we can get in is June 23rd and we have to drive down to Colorado Springs. This doctor was open July 31st here in Denver, we are hopefully taking this difficulty of getting an appointment as a testament that he is a darn good doctor. My pediatrician and this endocrinologist are wanting to check her for precocious puberty, which means a girl starts puberty at age 6 instead of 12, and one of our relatives did have that; an ovarian cyst that could be causing the secondary sex characteristic development; or lastly, a tumor on her pituitary gland, which could be affecting all her hormones, which another relative also had and needed to have surgery to remove it. Hopefully, it will be nothing or an ovarian cyst so that it will not need major intervention, but we will see. I know many people have lots of things going on, but if you have room, please keep Abby in your prayers.
