Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 hey everyone!! well we had our first visit with dr h today!! it went pretty well actually. the only thing is she wants us to stop his ght for awhile and have him take the periactin for catch up weight gain!! he actually grew 3cm but his weight didnt change and she is afraid of it not keeping up with his height growth. she also didnt like that high dose that chop had him on for the gh. it is .6 and she said it is a very large dose for his weight. we will see her again in july at convention for a 3 month follow up and see how his weight is. she will decide then when to restart the ght. i am glad we finally had our appt with dr h today (we called back in dec. and couldn't get the appt until april) the only thing is i wish we would have had it before going to our endo in feb and making the decision to start the gh. our dr never said anything about him having to catch up with his weight and if we wouldnt have gone to dr h he wouldnt have been getting the full benefit from his ght!!! i know i shouldnt beat myself up over this, but i feel bad that we didnt get all the facts and our dr at chop isnt informed enough (especially since some people told me what their opinion was about chop and the care of our kids by them) we have an appt there in may and i cant wait to see what he says when i tell him what dr h said. sorry so long!! jodie (nicholas-6 nonrss, christopher-3 rss 23lbs 33 " ADHD(possible) periactin(starting friday) ght genotropin .6 (putting on hold for awhile), johnathon-10m nonrss) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
