I am very surprised that the doctor took your daughter off the gh so

quickly. A six month trial is not very long. It would seem to me

that she would need some tweaking to get the best from the

medication.

My first thought is that if did not gain any weight, you are

not likely to see much, if any, growth. As Dr. H. has said so many

times to Max, " If you don't eat and gain weight, you won't grow. "

GH alone will not increase her appetite that much. Are you using

Periactin?

The next thought was that perhaps is not on a high enough

dose of gh. Was this doctor being on the cautious side and

prescribing a relatively low dose? Again, Dr. H. starts out low so

that she has room to increase if necessary. She does not like to

give too much medication if less is working just fine.

Another, more " delicate " question is whether or not she is getting

the shots when she is not in your care. I know to be careful here

because I don't want to ruffle anyone's feathers, so I'll leave it

at that.

Give these things some thought. I would speak to the doctor again

and reassess the situation. I think he gave up too quicly.
