SUCCESS!!!!!!!

We visited with our endocrinologist last Wednesday. After the usual hour and half in the waiting room, we finally saw the doc. Results? Good news!

Childhood growth is measured in centimeters of growth velocity, or how many centimeters the kid grows over the course of a year. Before we started the Genotropin Genogirl was growing at a rate of 3.9 centimeters a year, as measured in March. Now, 6 months later and 5 months into the Geno shots, she is growing at a rate of 7 centimeters a year.

Much happiness and a big, big sigh of relief. Doesn't make the daily shots any easier (especially with a higher dosage to correspond with G-girls increased stature) but it definitely makes them feel more worthwhile.
