Kane started Genotropin, a growth hormone, today and we hope to see great changes in his gross motor development as it helps to build muscle tone and bone strength. It is a shot everyday and I have to give it to him, but today when the doctor showed me how and I gave it to him, he didn't even cry. Then they used the same type of needle and gave me an injection of saline so that I could feel how minor the pain is and I have to say.....I barely even felt it. That was a bit of a relief. I will keep you posted on how it goes. Kane isn't crawling, bearing weight or walking yet and they said it is possible that the hormones help enough in 3 months that he could be crawling. Finally, at 2 1/2, he could be mobile. I can't wait to see!
