Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hi Kathy, 's first year on GH was disappointing as well, as his growth velocity stayed negative (meaning he still wasn't even growing as well as his peers, let alone obtaining any catch-up growth) I think it was a combination of caloric deficiency, and low dosing of GH both contributed to the problem. We managed to up his caloric intake ( is on continuous g-tube feeds) and increased his GH (from 6 units nightly to 10 units), and he has now passed the RSS boys line on the growth charts. YEAH!!! FINALLY!!! There is always hope! Hugs for you both! Pat (g-ma to , RSS, 4yrs 1m old, 28# 10oz, 35 " , G-tube, GHT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
