Re: help.puberty question - Sheryl

Hi Sheryl

I think most people will tell you that the kids are generally healthier once

they're on GH! It hasn't been the case with , but there have been

extenuating circumstances that go along with why he's been so much sicker

this year, then the last two. Hopefully, that will change soon!

And you Endo is correct with saying that choosing to go the GH route in a

YEARS long commitment. Max Zwain has been on it for something like 14 yrs,

and still counting! BUT, especially with a boy, you have to think of the

long term. Short girls are cute and sweet, tiny and petite, but short boys

can be treated badly by their peers. They are often ridiculed in public.

Just a couple of thoughts!

Sheryl,

I don't know where pat is getting her information from but has been

alot healthier than before. He has been admitted a couple times this past

year which is so much better than the last two years when a month out of the

hospital was a record.
