The growth hormone test

We completed the growth hormone test for Big Al on Thursday.... things went fairly well.. he was fighting the sleepiness of the medications for the first hour - which concerned the nurse, as they were worried that his blood pressure was not in the correct range. During the last part of the test, his blood sugar had to be tested every 15 minutes to make sure his blood sugar did not drop too low. His blood sugar had the opposite effect - it went up pretty high. Also, during the last part of the test, his blood pressure dropped really low - to the point where they had to wake him up and have him move around a bit.
We were able to head home in the afternoon. Big Al slept pretty much the whole way home. He was a bit groggy and tired - which was an AWESOME change! Maybe they could just give him that set of meds and we would be set each day!! haha!

We are hoping to find out the results in the next week..which will be interesting to say the least!
