We began growth hormone therapy on Thursday, October 15.
She is tired and will sleep in past 7, sometimes even til 8 on the weekend.
She is hungry and will eat from 3:30pm to 7:30pm if you let her.
She is growing and is getting noticeably heavier. She's gone up a shoe size.
We are now at 5 weeks or 30 days of shots.
Poke. Push. Wait for the click. Count to six. Done. Repeat 6 days a week.
I know she's wearing masks to school, doing Daisies outside and attending virtual dance class, so the likelihood of getting a cold is less, but she is physically stronger and seems healthier. It's hard to put my finger on it but last school year she would have already been on her 2nd or 3rd cold. The cold that lingered from October to March or April. This year, only one, and one that she overcame in about a week rather than the typical two it used to take her. I'm not sure this has anything to do with growth hormone therapy but I'm counting it as a blessing.
We made the right decision. 60 days. 1 inch. ::3.3 pounds.
October 15, 2020 :: 5 years 4 months :: 38" :: 30 lbs
November 19, 2020 :: 5 years 5 months :: 38.5" :: 32 lbs (corrected)
December 14, 2020 :: 5 years 6 months :: 39" :: 33.3 lbs
