Guest guest Posted April 9, 2002 Report Share Posted April 9, 2002 Hi Bob and (and n) & everybody else too, of course : ) Thanks for the birthday wishes : ) Josh had to get his MTX shot on his birthday but after it was done the nurses really cheered him up .... by surprising him with a beautiful chocolate birthday cake, while they all joined together to sing the Happy Birthday song. The next day, Saturday, Josh had a big party. We had all sorts of great games and fun activities, with ideas scoured from internet party sources. All the kids seemed to have a really fun time, especially Josh. Me, I was pretty tired out by the end of the day (even though my friend was a great help) and still, we had another party to go to the next day too! Thanks, too, for the encouragement re: growth hormone. As it turns out, the nurse won't be coming over till next week Friday. The same day she teaches me how to do the injections Josh will be getting his first shot. He wanted to do those on the same days that he gets his MTX shot, so we'll wait another week and a half. I'm a little nervous. The medicine is sitting, waiting, in the refrigerator. I've read most of the patient information but still have to open up one more packet to read the book and view the video. I was expecting just a small little package and instead ... there were two very large boxes. They seem to cover all the bases! We'll be dealing with a company called Caremark who distributes the HGH and includes everything else you could possibly need, including 24 hour a day customer service and a very knowledgeable and friendly pharmacy staff. Syringes, alcohol swabs, growth charts, a traveling cooler, an 'injection pal' rag doll, a backpack for Josh with a pencil case/calculator to help him monitor his growth ..... They've said that in most cases, within 4 to 6 months, you start seeing a very noticeable increase in the rate of growth. Faster in the beginning, slowly tapering off as time goes on. The pharmacist was talking about growing out of clothing and getting a larger shoe size. Wow. If that happens, it will be incredible. Except for when Josh was on high doses of steroids, he hasn't had that happen in, literally, years. He was about 3 feet 11 when he first got JRA and he stayed the same size for a very long time. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Josh seems very excited about it all. He's been telling his friends that he'll be taking a new med soon that'll maybe help him catch up some of his growing. I think I'm more nervous than he is. I've seen it done so many times, looks simple enough. But now I'm getting butterflies. That's not going to stop us, though. We can handle, right? We have an appt with the pediatrician this afternoon, for baseline measurements. We'll do the first injection 10 days from now and have them every two weeks, thereafter. And then we'll have a follow-up appt with the endocrinologist 3 months after we begin the treatment. Let's see how this goes .... Aloha, Georgina Georgina & Josh,Happy Birthday Josh, I'll tell Tori it's your birthday, (she has the Hawaiian canoe on her dresser).Great news about the growth hormone. I look forward to hearing about your progress!!!I'm happy to hear about your good news and getting the growth hormone.
