Cheryl, If Micheal keeps growing like that, he may catch up with that other Micheal (Jordan,that is!) Keep on growing! Deedee Hi Deedee! We were thinking about that-if he keeps up the pace, that would be 8 inches per year. He threw most of the small balls into the basket (below eye level, while on the pony's back) at therapeutic horseback riding the other night. He would need adaptive basketball though-due to his large superior blind regions, the baskets need to be in the inferior fields. Looks like he has an " arm " and some aim though. Never thought that our little guy would be a regular height some day, let alone possibly tall. : ) Cheryl, , (6), (4, CHaRGE) MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 Cheryl. Jillian just had her blood drawn last week to check for growth hormone deficiency. We will know in a week if there's a possibility. After that she said we would wait 6 more months to do someting where they put an IV in her and draw blood several times. Have you already done all this? Can you explain what happens and how things unravel if a deficiency is there. Thanks!!!! Ok...Jillian is crying to say something so here she is.... hvhggygujkgfxvgjgmmm b b ntnmtkykyyknhfhngjhf,hnfbfvjmh,gjmgjf,/j.hb Okay...Nap time!!

Have you already done all this? - YES, we had bone age radiographs, then resting blood levels, then a stimulation test with multiple samples taken over time. All were compatible with growth hormone deficiency. never totally quit growing (except his feet and kidneys), he continued to slowly get taller, but way off the charts. We were told that slow growth rather than no growth was typical for growth hormone deficient kids. Cheryl, , (6), (4, CHaRGE) MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
