Will had an appointment with his Endo Doctor yesterday. This appointment was actually part of the whole 'starting Growth Hormones' process. It's a very long process....it's exhausting to be honest with you.
Anyway, we've been coping with a child who hasn't been able to grow at an appropriate rate. Will turned 5 in January, and weighs just 32 pounds. He's been this way since before birth, so it has been a mystery to us of why he can't grow.
Yesterday, he had to be weighed and measured. This can be a little nerve-wracking for most parents, but for parents like this, it is very nerve-wracking. We usually hear, 'no growth'. It is stressful.
But to my utter surprise, Will had grown an inch in height and a pound in weight in just three months.
*Blink, Blink*!
We haven't seen that amount of growth out of him for.....well, I don't think we ever have.
Don't get me wrong, he is still tiny. He's only in the 2% for height and he is not even on the chart for weight.
My point is, we've always been told by his Endo that he'll never be able to grow at a 'normal rate' and that he will always been tiny.
Maybe yesterday, he proved his Endo wrong.
Oh! But we are still doing Growth Hormones :)
