We took Noah to the endo in London (Ontario) last week to get his

Growth Hormones and to learn how to give him the shots. It was a

little bit of a rollar coaster ride. They tried to cancel the apt

about 10 days before because the nurse that was supposed to train us

needed some personal time off. We said no ... find someone else to

train us. The flights were booked and paid for and the time off to

go was booked, as well as the arrangements for someone to look after

our other 3 kids.

We saw the endo and got the prescription to take to the hospital

pharmacy. It's funny it never even occured to me until I was handing

the prescription to the pharmacy lady that we should have asked the

endo to make sure that the GH was what we were expecting ... Humatrop

in a pen. Well it wasn't. We got Saizen in needles. I was quite

upset at first at the thought of needles but calmed a little when the

pharmasist mentioned to my husband that if anything went wrong with

the pen devices ... it would be good to know how to use the needles.

Anyway we got our training and Noah has now had 6 needles ... he has

them 6 days/week. He is taking it very well. We give him a

chocolate candy kiss and he says ouch and it's over. I have given

him the needles twice and it got worse for me each time. I feel so

guilty when I do it, but I'm ok when my hubby does it. I'm not quite

sure how I'm going to handle it when he goes out of town and I have

to do it all by myself ... but I'm sure I will survive!

We went to the ped yesterday and since Noah has been on Periactin,

which started the end of November, he has gained just over 2 pounds!

YA HOO!!!! Not bad considering he hadn't gained a thing for at least

6 months before that.

Another phase of life entered!
