18 Months: Wynter's “bone age test” came back different than her chronological age. This is a good thing: this means she does have the ability to “catch-up” in her growth. We also are doing her growth hormone stim test to see if the problem is Growth hormone (pituitary gland in the brain not producing gh) OR an IGf1 deficiency (the liver receptors not reading that it has growth hormone, and in turn not producing Igf1 to actually grow her). The Buddy Walk was a lot of fun. We were excited to be the top fund raising team this year and were very blessed with the prize of 2 round trip airlines tickets. I am also learning more about the changing mind foundation and more how the brain of kids with down syndrome really works...and what can be done to help them!
