Trey had his 3 month check up for his hGH and he GREW again!!! From 38.3” on 8/19/09 to 38.7” on 11/20/09…not much but we’ll take it! As a result of the growth Trey has shown on hGH, he is now back on the growth charts and in the 2% for boys his age-Yahoo!
In addition to his check up we were given medicine to help fight a nasty sinus infection Trey had come down with...so you can imagine how hard it was on him to have to go to the lab directly after this checkup to get blood drawn...in Trey's own words, "I NOT happy".
And same ol’ same ol’, Trey still hasn’t gotten accustom to his daily shots as we were told to expect. so we try to talk him into the fact that it will be quick and that he is such a big boy, Broc will do something goofy in front of Trey to take his attention off the “poke” and Drake will help me hold Trey’s wiggly legs but with no luck…we get tears every night. My poor babies cautie patutie little booty, I feel so bad to have to give him a shot every single night but seeing the results makes this event a lot easier to stomach.
Speaking of hGH, our endocrinologist wrote the most spectacular letter to our insurance company to try to get the hGH approved for Trey (this is the third appeal) but to no avail…we are now waiting to see what the next step will be. But until then, we have a few more weeks supply to administer and will hope and pray for a way for Trey to continue on growth hormone since is seems to be working.

Hi Cami,
That picture of Trey about to get his blood drawn just kills me. I so hate that our kids have to go through this stuff, and so often. Kaitlyn just had an MRI done and to sedate her they had to put an IV in twice because the first was no good. It was one of the hardest things we've been through yet, I think.
I'm really glad this treatment is working for Trey though. That's really awesome.
Mike
