We Started Growth Hormones!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi all, well we started Growth Hormones on yesterday, I can

finally try to relax!! I was so upset in my own ways and emotional,

but I feel so relieved now, we went to the Dr's and they had

talking with a child life specialist in the room with us while we

were doing our training, he was doing great, the lady had a

puppet " the size of him " and he liked it, he got to do the puppet's

blood pressure and temp, and other things leading up to giving the

puppet a shot took over and was using the wipes and wiping

off the med's bottle they used, and the had a fake syringe he got mad

and said " no if your going to give a shot you need a needle " he is so

smart!!! He ended up getting to help with a needle and poke it in the

med's bottle and give the puppet a shot, it went great and she

explained that he was going to be doing this to like the puppet and

to be brave like the puppet!! He said " no I am not getting poked....

well she still did good explaining about how kids are special and

some need Grow medicine so they can get bigger of course he said " not

me I am Big " !!I knew this would be his answer, well I was trained and

ready to give him his shot, I told him he could help and push the

button and help...Well that didn't go good at all Daddy was holding

him and I did the wipe and then he went hysterical crying " please

don't poke me " " do the puppet " well we held him in his daddy's lap I

was trying to pich up the skin and he was just a swinging his arms

and legs and fighting with us, I did the shot and he still cried .I

told him look we are done, he just looked at me said I was mean and

then stopped crying and said " you poked me ? Your'e done? " I was like

yes!! " He said,well that hurtand then in a sec said, Oh that didn't

hurt!! " I told him he was a big boy and well he got over it in 2

sec!!!! Whew that was an experience!! We talked this morning before

school and I asked him if he was going to tell the teacher that he is

going to be a big boy tonight, he said " yes and I am not going to cry

this time'!!! That made me feel so much better today!! I just hope

things are going to go well tonight, we are going to get in a routine

and do it after his bath, and since he is so into helping I am going

to let him!!!! We found out we have to do this shot 6 times a week

but get an off day and I think we are going to go with Saturday for

this!!! I just wanted to let everyone know how it went and that the

adventure is just beginging, thank you all to helped me when I was so

worried and depressed!!!I am sure I will have plenty of questions in

the future and hope ya'll are here for me as well,as I will be for

any of you!! I will let you know how it all goes this week !! Hugs to

all!!( mom to s 5 yrs he was 26 pounds and

36 inches yesterday Prevacid and now (1 day)Growth Hormone using

,

I'm so glad it went well for you. We've been doing the GH shots for

over a week now and things are only getting better. Getting past the

initial " unknown " was really the hardest part.

Abby seems more mature and wants to take part in more of the process

each time. This all still seems pretty unreal, but I guess

eventually we will have been doing it so much we won't remember what

it was like not to be giving her shots everyday.

---Hi well this is neat, at least we are right there together!!

has always been a pretty good eater, but if G H makes them

eat more then I am gonna be in trouble,lol, He eats(little portions)

but doesn't gain any weight!! I am glad your shots are going good to!

I just gave his 2nd one a min a go and he didn't take it to

well! He screamed at me,and of course called me a meanie!! Lets keep

in touch and see how we are doing o.k.? How old is Abby? is

5.When we talked this morning, he said he wasn't going to cry but

when reality set in and he saw what was fixing to happen he freaked

of course, I think he thought he was only going to get it at the

doctors yesterday, I don't know how to get him to understand what

everyday means! Well good luck with you and Abby and Hugs to you
