Yesterday we went in to meet with David's Endocrinologist to talk about the results of all the testing they did last month.
David's hormone levels of IGH1 are borderline so we are not going to do the Replacement Therapy yet. We are going to bring him in every two months to weigh and measure his height and test the hormone level to see if it is going up. If after 6-9 months if the level is not increasing and he is not growing they will do a IGH1 Replacement Therapy. Essentially we are taking the more conservative approach and not doing the Therapy until we are absolutely sure there is a problem.
We were very please and reassured at the appointment. The doctor explained that we are not causing any problems by waiting. If it does turn out that he needs the Replacement Therapy, he will catch up with his growth then, we are not jeopardizing anything by waiting. He assured us that the treatment is VERY safe.

"The best things come in small packages". He is so adorable and fun and we will just do all we can to help him stretch up and eat more! I can certainly show him how to eat but I'm afraid I am a bad role model for growing tall.
Love ya little buddy.
