So we are having Av tested to make sure she has the appropriate amount of growth hormones. Not that is she not growing, it is just one of the many, many things she could encounter in her life and we just want to have all our bases covered. She is growing pretty well. Actually she must have just had a growth spurt. All the sudden all her 2T clothes are too small and her feet have grown a few sizes too in just the last few months. Her feet have finally caught up with the rest of her. She was in baby shoes (sizes less the 5 in the baby/toddler size) until she was almost 2. She is now a size 8! She is on the growth chart just not where she should be. Based on John and my heights, Av should grow to be 5’ 7”. At the rate she is currently growing she is only going to hit 5’1”. 5’1” is great, we don’t care about that, but after doing some research we have found that growth hormones have many benefits; increased IQ, helps low muscle tone and with no negative side effects. The hormone is all-natural. Anyway to have insurance cover the hormones you have to fail the test twice. Av passed it the first time by a very small amount and failed the second time. So tomorrow we have it done again. The testing is something that would not be bad for an adult but for a 3 year old it is scary and not fun. They give her an IV and then every half hour they take her blood from it and then give her a drug. This goes on for 2 hours. The drug makes her growth hormones enter her blood. Making a 3 year old stay still and stay in a bed with an IV in her hand for 2-3 hours is not fun. She can’t eat either so that makes it hard too. So everyone think failing thoughts for us tomorrow.
