on the growth chart

Well our long drive down south paid off. We saw Dr. Flint the endocrinologists at The children's speciality hospital. We did see growth:
Lower segment (legs)one leg was 13 in.. the other leg was 13 1/4 in . The over all growth in the legs was 3/4s in 6 months.
Wingspan (arm length) was 34 1/2 in... total growth was 1 in in 6 months.
Height was 37 inches and he grew 1.5 inches in 6 months.
Total height for the growth hormones started (year) has been 3 3/4s inches total.
The best news of all was that he made it onto the growth chart. He had to get his blood taken and didn't even flinch. He was wonderful. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts for our journeys with Coleman. Your support is invaluable.

Coming Soon

We go to Lafayette, LA on February 17th to see Coleman progress. She (Dr. Flint)measures his head, his legs and his height. I don't like to measure him all the time because "a watched pot never boils". We visit the endocrinologist about every 6 months or so. Ill let you know how the bloodwork comes out. The bloodwork shows how his internal organs are doing and if the growth hormone if effecting his body. We have never had anything to show its doing harm. Just a heads up that next thursday we'll know a little more about Colemans progress.

all the Kings horses

The other day we were in the church santuary talking before band practice watching the kids run around and play. I was telling some of my close friends that Coleman was growing and doing well. I bragged that we had not had a head injury in a few months and I thought his balance was improving. We talked about the growth hormones and our kids before starting the first song. Before we had even finished the first run through I see the drummer look at me and mouth "Coleman". I looked over at the kids to see CoCo's mouth bloody and panick in his eyes. he had been running and lost his balance, fell forward and hit the bottom of the pew. We went to the Emergency Room and sat for three hours (watching Toy Story II) and at the end they just told us to go home and let it heal. he is oing a lot better now, but I hate that fe falls all the time, it worries me to death. But yet again he was wonderful, not a lot of tears and crying and he ate
and drank the next day. Such a trooper

new happenings

I have been taken a product that changed the way I view medicine and synthetics it is called Max gxl. I was talking to one of the ladies who is doing research for this pill and autism for my other son but when I told her about Coleman's Growth Hormones she said to immediately put him on this too. I is something that flushes the toxins out of our bodies and she said that it would allow the GH to work even better if he were to take this. I have been taking Max gxl for 4 months and my thyroid problems has completely gone away. My blood work came back and said no problems with my thyroid exist. Cool huh? I'm skeptical but it has worked for me and no Ill try it on my sons. Ill let you know how they do.

measure of a man

Today Carter, my six year old was playing with the measuring tape and asked if we could see how tall he was. We did and he was about 4'3. then we measured Coleman who is four years old and he was 36 in which I believe is 3' feet tall. Is that right? It was was spare of the moment so it was probably inaccurate.
