Growing like a weed

 
This was Gavyn weeks ago at Cardinal Glennon having his final growth hormone test. It was a long day at the hospital. We had trouble getting an IV in, finally got an IV in, wasn't sure how he would do and had already wasted lots of time getting the IV in and he hadn't eaten since the previous night (oh yeah, you have to fast for this test, like EVERY test you get done it seems). We crossed our fingers and hoped he would fall asleep from the meds. He did! I was scared to death to move the DVD player or turn of Chugginton in case it woke the beast. Once we were ready to leave our nurse told us it would take a couple weeks for the blood results to come back. Boy was I surprised to get a call from our Endocrine two days later with the results! Of course he was low and we were ready to start the hormone process. We had our meds by the next week (exactly a week later actually) and scheduled our training for two days later.  
 
 
This is the first Monday we started growth hormones...

This is last Monday... Wooh! He's alrady grown about 3/4 of an inch.
