6 Months Later

Campbell has now been on her medice for 6 months. We went to her 6 month follow-up the other day. What a difference 6 months can make.

In those 6 months she has grown 2 inches. In the 2 years prior to those 6 months, she grew 1/2 inch. Amazing difference!

The doctor was very pleased with her growth. He said that was the perfect amount for her to grow in that amount of time. Her blood work all shows that everything is working as it should.

The only issue he saw was that while she did grow taller, she did not gain any weight. We are now pushing extra calories down the kid. Aaron and I have had to let go of some of our healthy food only rules. While we still make sure the kids eat a very healthy diet, we have to let some more high calorie foods in for her. I don't stress the no sugar cereal rule as much. If it's chocolate soy milk instead of plain that she will drink, then she gets chocolate soy milk. We have realized that we have taught both kids to eat a healthy diet and they mostly choose these healthy foods. It's ok for them to have some "junk" food.

The good news is that the shots are worth it!
