The Frustration of being Mom to Hemihypertrophy

The fact is my son has hemihypertrophy and it is visible to my eye, so I know he needs special doctors to treat this, but the selfish side of not wanting to constantly monitor everything is there, I need to make these appointments more enjoyable for me. I am going to do this, yes I have to bring him but he and I are going to have a special day. We have to do this so what can I do to make it awesome. October 4th snuck up on me and I didn't have his yearly appointment on the calendar but it's time to focus on the leg and when it needs to be lengthened he's almost 5 years old and I know he could shoot up 4 inches a year, I did. I was one of those tiny kids for a long time, I remember when I finally got to 55 pounds in 5th grade but then I shot up in one year 4 inches. I don't know how fast or quickly Nate will grow but I know his one leg needs to be lengthened and no homeopathic doctor is going to be able to do this....then again one never knows if one doesn't know about something, what is going on. Sigh. Chemically be able to do this is what the guy from Emory said. For now I am trying to have everything taken care of at MCG.

Now to call his pediatrician.

Four and a half years old WOW

And so I have neglected your blog, it's been hectic and I forget to write. I keep track of somethings on your facebook page. Your okay, your growing and I need to take you to the doctors again. Speech is no longer anything but your family making you say things and you are doing incredibly well.

I'm a bit concerned about the difference in leg lengths and it's time for another sonogram, and blood work and your well check for a 4 year old that should of been done in August.... behind I was for your 3rd and now more behind or ahead for your 4th year well check. Time for a long week in Augusta.
