Abby Update

[Guest guest]

I haven't posted in awhile, but wanted to give an update on our

daughter Abby. She has been on GH for about 2 years. She's eight

years old and is now at 112.70 cm. That's a gain of 2.7 cm from our

last visit 4 months ago. It's amazing to chart her and watch her

rising up above the RSS curve that she followed so closely until we

started GH. We go to Children's Hospital in Denver, CO and they are

getting really progressive with their records. The doctor punched

Abby's numbers into the computer and charted it on the growth chart.

She could point at Abby's spot on the computer and it told her Abby

is now at the .31 percentile for height when last time she was .17.

I'm very excited to see her progress!

Children's has a lot available, we visited the dentist on the same

day and found she has two baby teeth that have no permanent teeth

beneath them. Pretty lucky since we were looking at having to have

some teeth pulled because of the overcrowding.

Then we visited orthopaedics (haven't been in 4 years) and found she

now has a half inch leg length difference. The doctor said he could

prescribe a lift if she was having problems, but she is not

complaining about any leg pains and compensates for it very well.
