Any experiences with endocrinology referrals?

I had a 4 week NICU stay with my 37 week baby due to issues managing blood sugars then feeding issues. He was 5lb and born via emergency c section due to severe IUGR. While in hospital he was given a full genetic screening due to the blood sugar management taking longer than anticipated but told no specific concerns were there it’s just better to screen earlier in case anything does come up. We left NICU and 2 months later I received a letter for a endocrinologist appointment to discuss his genetic test results but the appointment isn’t for a month and the dr is on holiday so can’t share the results yet, causing a lot of anxiety. Anyone have a similar experience?

Symptoms - issues managing blood sugar (now managed), issues feeding (now feeds well, no tube but does have stridor and reflux), gaining weight but following 0.4 percentile growth curve and not gaining beyond that despite now being on high calorie formula, potential slightly low muscle tone although not noticeably and no drs have picked up on this but does fall asleep with mouth open, 10 weeks and not yet smiling although is alert and following faces/toys etc. 1 undescended testicle and small genitals.
