ON YOUR MARK......GET SET.............

G R O W!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The medicine arrived and the nurse from her endocrines office came this afternoon. Doesn't she look bigger?? Kidding :) The "pen" below is the growth hormone. There's a small needle on the end and she gets it once a day. She is not a fan of it, but I'm sure she will get use to it. My concern is not giving her an injection once a day, my concern is, "is this really going to work?" Call me a skeptic but I'm not convinced. But I would LOVE to be proven wrong.
Current weight: 25# 9oz (11.61 kg) In the 2% of growth chart
Current height: 2' 9.6" (0.854m) In the 0.27% of growth chart

We did take Brooke off her appetite stimulating medication. We only want to start 1 new thing at a time. If the growth hormone goes well, we can always restart the other med. Her next appt with clinic is Dec 9. I have some meds I'd like to get her off so I will try that, again :) Maybe if her immune studies come back better we can do that.
Other than that, life is pretty mellow. Brooke is still working on the potty training. She actually quit, and told me she wasn't going to do that anymore. I told her yesterday that is her decision but then she cannot ever go to school or children's worship. This afternoon she said she's thinking of changing her mind. We'll see!!!
When I look back, it's only been a little over 3 years that we've been handed Brooke's health situation. In the big picture that is not that long. For many months I never thought I'd see the day Brooke would walk, talk, debate me, call her sisters names or tell me "no." As much as 3 year old twins can be a challenge, I feel so blessed to be given the gift. God has seen us through obstacles we never dreamed. I can honestly say, I feel that she is going to be ok. Brooke will always have health issues. She will never be given a "clean bill of health" she will never "out grow" this. But God has sustained her when we didn't think it was possible. For that we are eternally grateful!! This Christmas, Steve and I already got our gift.
