Colten had his follow up appointment at Children’s Mercy yesterday. I am happy to report that the doctor’s are beyond happy with his progress. He started the growth hormone shot a little over a year ago and at this point he is exactly where they want to see him. They did do some blood work yesterday to make sure that he is not having any “unseen” issues with his liver, and to make sure that he does not have too much of the hormone in his system. All things I am extremely happy that they check throughout this process. The other thing they did was an x-ray of his wrist to make sure his bone age is where it is suppose to be. We should have all of those results back next week. Other than that we are just going to keep doing what we are doing. We upped his does due to weight gain (he is now in the 28th percentile for weight). They also said that his height is doing well and he is now in the 10th percentile for that. I am just happy that he is noticeably taller than Aubrey now. It was never fun when she was his height or taller, and we got asked if they were twins constantly!
Here he is getting measured!
Like I said we are extremely happy for the great report. One more thing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! I am feeling SO sorry for all the families stuck in Children’s Mercy this holiday season. May God bless them all!
