On Sunday it will be 365 days of me taking Growth Hormone Therapy. I feel like I have changed so much in the last year and changed other people's lives as well. I have showed people who I truly am from the very beginning of taking Growth Hormone Therapy; and now, a year later, I see myself as a whole different person.
I have to say it has been such a long journey for me and my family. I have not gotten this far without my friends and family. The main person I would like to thank is my endocrinologist, Dr. Lavin. My mom has become more brave because she is always there to support me while I take my shots, and when I don't feel like doing it myself she gives them to me. She was scared in the beginning and now she does it so easily. My dad has also been a big part of my journey this year by taking me to my blood tests and my bone age x-rays. The best of all has been my brother. When I take my shots he says nothing except "WOW", which I love.
I feel really lucky to have such great support.

ReplyDeleteSamantha has not been to the Endocronologist for a month and has an appointment in July. Over 10 months she grew 5 inches (maybe a little more). She looks taller since she last went for a height check. Her average has been one inch in height every 2 months however I am told that this will slow down. Her doctor is incredibly pleased with her progress!
