Genotropin

That's the name of the drug I will start injecting Wyatt with tomorrow...

I have visions of old PBS specials on medicine in the 50s and what Drs USED to think was good practice and I'm nervous...but there's no way to know for sure.

I have researched the drug and there have been deaths - but of children with a specific syndrome - not the one Wyatt has. BUT the one Wyatt has is so rare that its not even listed. Its crazy, that we're going to do this so that he'll be more socially acceptable. We are going to give him a shot every 6 out of 7 days for the next 15 years so that he'll be taller. Wow! Wow! Wow!
