I knew Michael was getting taller 'cause his clothes kept getting so short. Emily asked me why I was cutting his pants down into shorts. I told her that since his waist hasn't gotten any bigger, we are recycling his old pants into new play shorts.
Well we went to the Endocrinologist yesterday for Michael's check-up. His height is now almost to the 50th percentile and his weight is almost to the 30th percentile. Yeah!!! I'm glad he is obviously continuing to respond to the medicine.
For those who don't remember, Michael is growth hormone deficient. The Munchkins from "The Wizard of Oz" also had this condition. The doctor said that had he been left untreated, Michael would probably only grown to 3 foot 6 inches. It is hard to imagine him living his entire life at that height. Yesterday his height measured just under 3' 6".
Love to all.....
