Every Centimeter Counts

Alora had her quarterly Endocrinology appointment today.  Not much has changed.  She's still measuring super small and her bone age is still about a year behind.  Her current measurements are: 
  • Weight: 46.4 lbs  (she has gained 1 oz. since last measurement, now 4th percentile)
  • Height:  46" (she has gained 2 cm since last measurement, now 1% percentile)
So obviously not a lot of growth, but at least she's now somewhat on the charts.  The doctor mentioned starting the paperwork with the insurance company for growth hormone.  Jeremy doesn't want her to be on any, but I personally think that any little chance at an extra inch or two would be beneficial later on down the road.
