Tomorrow my "baby" turns 13.
Our home now consists of folks all over the age for kids meals in restaurants and discounts at the movies. :(
It also means I have 2 boys that are teens at the same time, lets bow our heads shall we ??
Happy Birthday Nick !

"The appeal of the Appellant is Sustained"
THUD !
When I first opened the letter and saw the "Order" by the Administrative law judge I couldn't help but think to myself ..
This is a good thing right ?!?!?
I had to go over it in my head.
Sustained .. good
Overruled .. bad
Flashing back to my days of watching Perry Mason in the 60's this must mean since I was the appellant ....
"I won" ! (Perry would be proud)
My gut tells me I will be appealing again in the near future but for now we celebrate that we can start off another school year with the right supports in place.
Someone pass me a Miller Lite and the Doritos !!

.7
.7
Not exactly a number that knocks your socks off huh ?
It's a little number .5 short of a whole inch.
BUT .. if you only 4' 5" tall at the age of ALMOST 13 and you suddenly jump to 4' 5.7" its HUGE !
It was his first follow up since starting the twice daily injections of Increlex and I was praying that he would see some success for all he has tolerated so well.
When the nurse first measured him today I wasn't sure if .7 was a good thing.
I must admit I wasn't overly impressed .. MAN I was hoping for at least one whole inch. I knew a whole inch would really rock his world :)
Once again he fools me. He was over the moon at seeing he had grown .7
The Doctor too was very pleased as well.
She calculated that if the growth continues at this rate he could hit that 3-4 inchs of growth at the one year mark that has been touted as possible.
So today was a good day for the little man.
It sure will make the daily injections easier to live with now, and that my friends is a good thing !
