Re: How fast does the GH work?

[Guest guest]

-hI sHERYL,

We just got back from 's pediatric appointment (next week is

Dr.H. so my info will be more precise then..but we are still thrilled

with his progress. even if the ped's measurements are off by a bit!)

HEre's the gist of his growth:

At age 3, was below the 3rd percentile. HE started GHT at 3.5

Age 4.5: 10th percentile (Also on Periactin)

Age 5: 20th percentile

Age 6: 30th percentile

age 7: 40th percentile

age 8: 60th percentile!!!!!(although, I don't completely trust the

nurse's measurements. We'll see what Dr.H. says on Monday).

Dr.H. says she can feel his muscle tone improving, but it's hard for

me to notice it..I know that he is just overall much healthier, seems

to be able to run longer, can now walk down stairs alternating steps,

and the big thing: he used to not be able to swim because his

legs/arms got really tired. HE's a really good swimmer now.

Of course, we'll never know how much of this is just genetic, how

much of it is due to his natural growth, how much of it is due to

better eating/nutrition....And, if we stopped the GHT, would

he 'plateau' again???? The million dollar question!
