To Deb B. - re testosterone

[Guest guest]

Hi Deb,

I was just reading some of the RSS list's posts and saw yours about

Adam and the testosterone. Go for it girl! You and Adam will never

regret it. Matt was always glad he did. It is for such a short period

of time, and the changes you see will be all for the good, and if Adam

is like Matt, his self-esteem will soar! Matt had no ill effects at

all. It will put Adam on a more even keel with the other guys. Even

though I was like you, very, very reticent to go ahead, I am so glad

that we did - and so is Matt. He has a friend in youth group at church

who is short and is being made fun of all the time at school (not at

youth group) so his mother told me on the weekend. Matt is now heading

over the 5'3 " mark and said he has never been made fun of in high

school at all! We are really glad we did the testosterone before high

school. It gave him a jump start on puberty. He is now into

puberty " on his own " so the ped endo says. And he is still growing on

the GH! Just an encouragement for you both! If we hit the 5'6 " mark

before we're " done " , I will be in heaven! Less than 3 more inches to

go! Got to go to bed. Bye!
