Hubris

I spent a lot of time doing yard work today and dealing with my ego. Last night I surfed the internet more extensively than before-- and I thought I'd done a pretty extensive search-- and finally found some message boards for parents of children on Genotropin.

Wow. Parents talking about things like six month old children who aren't growing at all but are too young for treatment. Lots of scary stuff. Made me so very grateful that our issue is, in the realm of issues, so very, very small (ha ha. Get it? Small? Growth hormone?)


I realized that it is kind of absurd, my rushing to start a blog as if no one has ever gone through this before. I imagine there are some out there. But damn, they are hard to find.

So here it is: the blog of the experiences of a family whose older daughter is in a not terribly dire situation which is nonetheless serious enough to merit injected hormone treatment.

Tomorrow the starter pack is slated to arrive, at which point I call back insurance to go over a checklist. Theirs, not mine.
