Thanks, Jodie:

I appreciate the info about medicaid and SSI. My son is going to see

Dr. H for the first time this week, so I am planning to ask her about

this, as well.

My son if 4 now, but he was exactaly the same size as your

when he was three.

on is 4 1/2 now and is 35 inches and just started ght 3 months

ago. He's only using .5 genetropin, so I'll be curious to see if Dr.

H wants to increase his dose.

Thanks again for the information.
