Gracie was also diagnosed with Growth Hormone defincientcy and she started medication last summer. We found a Endorcrinologist closer to home so we were not having to drive to the medical center. Where we live now, the medical center is really far. Since Gracie has so many unknowns, the Endocrin stopped her G.H. treatment but she recently resumed it. However, we stopped it because I want to go holistic with her treatment as well but also because G.H. treatment has a lot of risk- a lot. Gracie has really blossomed at school. This once extremely shy child is that no more. She will actually walk other classmates to the nurse if they need to go and tell the nurse what happened to the child. That is huge for Gracie! She is very confident in many ways but still struggles in certain areas. She loves school but at home she'd rather watch tv than practice writing and especially reading. She really doesn't like to do her site words or reading. She still is more immature than her sibilings and classmates. It's difficult because she is only 5.5 and that puts her the youngest in the class. More on that later. She is very strong willed and we are battling through that. She is very sweet but loves to tattle. She is a very good eater. She shocks us with how much she eats! She is the tallest out of the three and likes to tell the other two so they get mad. We had to tell her she isn't to mention she is the tallest because that causes war between them. Overall she is doing good. If she would try harder in school she'd be doing great but she doesn't so that's that.
