Growth Hormone update

We finally have the meds!!! They arrived today! Now we just have to wait on Home Health to contact us about a time to come out and train us on what to do and how to do it!! Hopefully we will hear from them in the next few days and get started next week!! They told us in October that we would be lucky to have this started before March or April so we are doing great according to that time line!!

Our only other health concern right now is, Haley is showing some signs of possible scoliosis (sp?) her physical therapist says its either the difference in leg length or the beginning of scoliosis....I have contacted her pediatrician and her orthopedist to see what they want to do...the first step is usually to do a leg length film so we will know exactly which bone is different in size from the other and then do a spine film to check for scoliosis...the problem is with her about to start these growth hormones if it is scoliosis it could get lots worse...Her PT really thinks it will be the leg length problem because it appears worse when she is weight bearing, laying on her stomach or bending to touch her toes its not visible its just when she is standing or on her knees...Anyway, all that said please pray that its leg length and that it will fix itself with these growth hormones!!
