Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 , So sorry that your poor baby has to go through all that, I'm sure it was painful. Wish I could shine some light on the subject for you but I haven't heard of that before. I hope for her that it was just a one time thing Chrissy Madison's mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hi , Poor Laikyn! What a rough day to have, I hope she's feeling better very soon!! Did she need the surgery to insert pins or to set the bones properly? It's never easy when they're in so much pain. Thought I'd jump in on this one since we've quite a bit of bone experience here. GHT will NOT weaken bone, nor can you make the bones grow too fast to weaken them. Since RSS kids are growth hormone insufficient you're just getting them up to the levels of GH that other kids are already at which is why RSS kids respond to GHT. At the last convention Dr. H talked a bit about bone breaks and although incidences are a little higher in RSS kids I think she said it was more because of decreased bone density from low calorie intake. Estrogen is also a negative factor on bones. Girls especially... Osteoporosis affects menopausal age women much more than men because they are exposed to estrogen from birth whereas males don't start to produce estrogen until andrenarchy or puberty. On a good note, GHT is a bone builder!! Yay! That's part of the reason we're fighting so hard to try and get Olivia on it before time runs out for us.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Awwww, poor thing. That is awful. Can't help you with your question though. I haven't heard about anything like that. It will be interesting to see what others say. I guess I need to keep reading the posts. Still behind! Ugh. ;o) Are the shots still going well??

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 That makes total sense. 's bones show that they aren't a dense as they need to be and many doctors have said this is from lack of calories and insufficient nutrition. One doctor even said had some slight Osteoporosis already! Ugh. So, , Leah may have your answer. Bones aren't as dense as they should be and thus, easier to break.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 , I was so saddened to read about Laikyn's accident. How awful for both of you. I have to admit, that is one thing Max has NOT had! It is just terrible to watch your child be in so much pain. You feel so helpless. I hope she is mending well and more comfortable today. I think the third day is the worst. I broke my foot once and I recall that day very clearly! I'm sure your dad is beside himself. I know how much he loves his little girl. Jodi Z P.S.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Thanks for that Jodi- She is finally feeling a bit better. I am sure casey will enjoy the letters from all the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 HI , I have not been on the computer in days, but I just read about Laikyn, so sorry.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Hi - She is doing good now. It is so funny seeing her cruze around with this bright pink cast. She is really being a trooper. How are things going with Jonah and his GH. We see Dr. H Feb 27 to check on Laikyns progress. I can say I think that it's working because we have already gone up 2 shoe sizes since October. It is crazy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 , I can just picture Laikyn, she is so full of spunk! Things are going alright with the GH, but I am not good at giving it. My husband is much better! We are doing it when he is sleeping since he asked us to do that. He moves, but so far does not wake up!! That is amazing about Laikyn's shoe size! I don't know how the GH is working yet, but everyone keeps telling me he looks taller... We see Dr. H. on January 31st. How long will you be in NY? Perhaps we could see you. We are about an hour and a half from the city. Where are you staying? Say hello to Laikyn for us. Re: Broken Bones > Hi - > > She is doing good now.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 , That's great about Laikyn's shoe size. Has Laikyn bumped you in the head yet (on accident of course) with her cast? It's so funny seeing those little casts. I remember my cousin's daughter having one. It's amazing how they learn to work around it so quickly. We are seeing Dr. H on February 24th.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 hey- We are two pees in a pod! I am not that good at giving the shot either. We will be in NYC for two days. We fly in Sat at 1:30 and leave Monday at 6:00. We are staying at the Sheritan New York I think. It is either the New York or Midtown. They are right across the street from eachother. Let me know if you will be in town? Re: Broken Bones , I can just picture Laikyn, she is so full of spunk! Things are going alright with the GH, but I am not good at giving it.
