[tri-med] Re: Growth Hormone information

no i am sure it is the first step screening, a big blood draw.  she has had
bone density testing but not bone age.  i think she fell into a group that
might be considered for ght from that initial screening.  (she has had
multiple clonidine tests tho...)
i think that is the reason they suggested it as she was in some group for
consideration.  i said we were not interested into looking into it more at
this point as i dont want a huge kam to move around.  if she was more
advanced developmentally and self mobile i would be considering totally
different scenarios.
is that ok?
