So we got into endocrinology. The provider was great. She was like, some puberty signs. Let's go ahead and do some blood work. Let's go ahead and see where she's at in this process. And we will schedule for her to have an implant put in that would basically delay puberty. And is that what they recommended? So there was two recommendations. They either said we can do a monthly shot

Like a monthly injection, or we can put in, like, it's kind of a little, like a bigger needle, but they just insert like a little, it's like an inch thing in the back of her arm. Oh, okay. That would then deliver medication. Okay. For an entire year. Okay.

So when I said that to them, I said, listen, needles, when we think about her underlying condition, that any pain or like big, huge emotions, that's going to trigger these other episodes. Right. Even though doing an implant is a little more invasive, it really isn't that big of a deal. I think that would be the better. The provider was like, yeah, like that sounds like the right thing to do. Okay.

So we were going down that line and she was like, we need to confirm with lab or just to make sure her levels are off. So her levels came back. She called me. She's like, they are off. So we will go ahead and move forward. I just want to do one more thing. I want to do, um,

ultrasound testing just to make sure she doesn't have like an ovarian cyst so they did the the um like it's like a bladder and ovary ultrasound okay and that came back fine so i was like great and so then i thought okay let's get this thing on the schedule and then she's like oh now we need to do an mri because i want to make sure she doesn't have a pituitary tumor or mass and i'm like okay this is interesting because the plan keeps changing like you you've told me that

Precocious puberty is common with neurological disorders, but okay, I'm not gonna complain about an MRI. But it requires her to be sedated, which that is not an easy thing for a kid with AHC.
