We had an appointment with the endo doc today. Bash is 5' 5 1/4". He grew 1 1/4 inches in 3 months. He reached the 50 percentile on the height chart for the first time in his life in December. When he was younger the docs estimated that he would have been no taller than 5"3' as a full grown adult without the growth hormone treatments. Yayee for growth hormones! Now that he's reached the 50th percentile on the height growth chart he has the option of staying on the treatments until his growth plates fuse or stopping them any time (the daily injection causes many children a lot of stress so they want to stop them as soon as they can, or they are happy with their height. Bash is tough. He usually gives himself his own injections.) He gets a bone scan yearly to check that.
He is not as unhappy as he appears in the picture. He doesn't like to smile for the camera anymore (I guess it's not cool) so I get this sulky looking face instead. LOL He's still a cutie pie.
