He's on the charts!!!!

I took Ben to the endocrinologist today. He has been on growth hormone for almost a year (he started on June 30th last year). He is now 47 1/2 lbs (10th percentile) and 46 1/2 inches tall. His height is now at the 3rd percentile, he is finally on the height chart!!!! He has grown 4 inches and put on 8 lbs in the past year. It is truly amazing. The doctor is very happy with his growth and expects him to keep catching up with his peers. They have increased his dose to account for his increased size.

That is wonderful news! 8 inches in a year, that is incredible. You must be going through clothes like mad, but a good problem to have.
