Re: mildly elavated IGF-I levels

Oh, Cara, please tell not to fret! We worried so much about

Max and his lack of growth on gh. Dr. H. said he was gh resistant

and gave us little hope of his reaching our goal of 5'3 " . (Hers was

5'6 " ) I cried, I tried making deals with God, my husband and I

spoke long into the nights.... We were terrified that Max would

never be in the normal range for height and would be upset after all

he had endured to grow, digest food properly, and even to get his

psyche in a better place. Now I am so happy to say that he is 5'3 "

and it seems like it all happened overnight. We stuck with it and,

even though it's been tough, it has paid off.

Keep on doing what you are doing. Tell that there is always

hope. He is 8 years old and there is plenty of time for him to grow

and develop and be what he wants to be. I know it gets

discouraging, but he will get there. He is lucky to have you for a

mom. You are doing everything you can to help him. You, like us,

can never look back and say you did not try!

Hugs
