Update on Nathan

Hello All,



Thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts. This has been a long and windy road with Nathan. Some may know and not know that Nathan had to go in for more testing last Friday on an urgent basis per an endocrinologist from Children's Hospital. I finally got a hold of her today and she said that she wasn't able to say an exact diagnosis but looking at the first set of results, Nathan's cortizone hormone was very low and he would probably have to get a shot anytime there is a stressfult situation (which was vaguely defined by the doctor) the rest of his life.



Nevertheless, as his parents you could imagine this still leaves us hanging because we don't know what to look for but we have a doctor's appt on September 8th to talk to the doctor more in depth. She will also have all the results back from his hormone testing and CT scan. We know that we serve an awesome God and He will bring us through this. We know that he has put each and every one of you in our lives for a reason.



More updates later.....otherwise he is doing great! He is talking so much. Last night on the way home from life group, he was telling on one of the kids because he kept talking in long sentences and I heard him try to prounounce some of the kids' names. He is also potty training. We have a Nathan's Potty Prize jar and if he goes he gets 3 M&M's.



Love The Bartletts
