My daughter is 2 years 4 months old. She's growing so slowly that I took her to the hospital 4 months ago. She went through a lot of tests; X-ray, MRI, Insulin Tolerance tests and chromosome test.
Results showed her pituitary had some structural problem by unknown congenital causes. The doctor said her pituitary gland was very small and the pituitary stalk rarely could be seen. Her bone age was 9 months at 24 months of chronological age.
Her Growth Hormone secretion is at an extremely low level. She is far below the 3rd percentile on the growth chart in Korea. Her Thyroid Hormon level is not good either but it is just below the border line.
Fortunately Turners Syndrome was ruled out. Her mental development and motor skills are pretty normal. Now she is taking Thyroid Hormon pills every day.
But I've not yet decided when to start the HGH treatment. GHDs under 5 years old can't get the financial support from Health Insurance Funds in Korea. Should I put my daughter to the HGH ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
