[tri-med] Re: question regarding growth



>>>Is the lack of growth apparent initially?  Or does it happen like
Caroline and they just stop growing???  If so, when do you start this
therapy?  <<<<

 Irene, though I cant really remember what Bec's growth was like in the
first year, ( I would need to find the growth chart, will try and look
later) remember even normal kids grow more in the first year then they do at
any other time.  I cant answer the growth hormone question as Bec has T18
but I will say that most of our triers tend to be on the small side ( which
is a good thing if you must lift and carry them)  Bec is growing  about an
inch a year for the last few years, and at 4'1" and 65lbs that's enough for
me to lug about, and I don't believe she will grow much taller.


Susan mom to Rebecca t18 who will be a teenager in 41 days!!!!
