H,

Thanks for your kind words. I have let Jonah been pricked one too many

times by people without experience with teeny tiny arms.. No more..A guess

this time I was hopeful because she is Dr. H's resident. A long time ago,

when he needed to have an MRI, they tortured him so that I went to the NICU

and begged the nurses to come and do the IV. I knew them because it was a

Mt. Sinai and that is where Jonah was born.

Well, we are excited about the GH, but of course very nervous. Your advice

about getting the kids involved was great! I am hoping that will be the

answer for us>

Hi Jodie,

Good to hear from you and glad to know that 's eating has

improved again. Dr. H. does possess some kind of spell on the kids!!

I have been reading about your dad's progress. Just know that we are

thinking of you and your family.

I have not made Jonah's appointment yet, I have to give Yadira a call. Keep

us posted on how you are doing.

- of course you are welcome. You know - I'm kinda mean

(lol) I always threaten " nicely " to whoever is doing the blood draws

that they aren't allowed to " fish " and they are only allowed to

stick once. I get nasty looks, comments, etc. all the time - but,

you know what - that's life. My son's comfort and happiness is more

important than their self-esteem. As a matter of fact, I generally

(unless it's a physician) tell everyone that I demand a NICU/PICU or

anesthesiologist to draw the blood!

Keep us posted!

Hi ,

I know the experience with the 2 hour OGTT. had it done in August and by

the time they got us from the waiting room and in the back, and got started it

was 9:45. She too was fasting since midnight. She screamed so bad and everytime

they came into draw blood but we never saw Dr. H until we were leaving and just

to say hello.

I'm glad you had a good visit otherwise and a great walk a thon.

Hi all,

First of all, I want all of you who are going through hard times, we have been

thinking and praying for you. Last week, Jonah had his appointment with Dr. H.

He was scheduled to have the 2 hour OGTT test which turned out to be

disastrous.Dr. H.'s resident who is very nice, could not get the IV in nor draw

the blood. Dr. H. came in at 9:30AM and was upset and said that it was too late

to do the test since Jonah had to eat. He had been fasting since midnight the

night before. Dr.H. drew the blood with no problem and at least got the

baseline blood work done so we can begin GH. This is the last time, I will let

someone with no experience with little arms and veins, touch him. He is still

black and blue. Anyway, Jonah gained weight and should be starting GH in a few

weeks once the insurance goes through.

Also, just wanted to let you all know that we(Jonah on his bike) did a 10 mile

walkathon and we are now collecting our $$. It was a great day!!

Thinking of all of you.
