Carly hasn't had the best week. Early in the week she started waking up screaming in the middle of the night and it took several hours to totally settle her down. This has kept up every night since and now happens several times during the day as well. She was upset enough on Wednesday to be taken up to urgent care for an exam. The trick is that it could be normal kid issues like teething or stomach pain, it could be an endocrine issue due to her panhypopituitarism or it could be a neurological issue. Because there are so many possibilities the urgent care visit took most of the day for head and abdomen ultrasounds, blood labs, urine tests and more. Fortunately all of the test results looked normal and Carly was sent home, but she is still clearly not feeling well. We are thankful that it wasn't something serious enough to land back in the hospital again, but it is still sad to see Carly in pain. Hopefully whatever it is passes in a few days, in the meantime we will cuddle her and give her all the love we can.Love, Brad

I can't even imagine how unsettling this can be. Behavior like this (which does seem to randomly come up) can be upsetting when you have a child without extenuating circumstances; it must be so hard when there are so many other issues to be worried about. I am glad Carly checked out okay with her exams, and do hope she turns the corner quickly.
I hope the last few days have been getting better. Sending lots of love to all three of you!
When you or your spouse hurts, that is bad. But when your child hurts, that is worse.
Sounds as though you covered all bases and then some...lucky Carly.We are all hoping and praying that this too will pass soon..D
We know that "hanging in there" is not as easy as you make it look and that's why you are in our thoughts & prayers often. May God continue to give you the strength you need to face the challenges ahead and may He bring peace and better days to your precious Carly. You two are an inspiration to us all.
