Anna is Growing!

Since Anna started GHT two months ago, she has grown one full inch! Her hair is growing much faster and so are her feet. At 10 1/2 years old, she has finally started puberty. I am not thrilled to see my baby girl growing up, but we knew it was bound to happen once she started growth hormone therapy.

Grow Anna grow!

On another note, sickness is spreading through our family like wildfire. Two different bugs seem to be attacking us right now. A few of the kids have had a fever with extreme lethargy and two have had severe cases of vomiting and diarrhea for one day and then they are fine. Please pray for our family's health.

My name is Melissa Moss and I am currently living in Stuttgart,Germany with my husband and 4 kids. I just started reading your blog a few days ago and have spent every free moment catching up on the last few years of your life. Your family is so inspirational to me! Reading your story about the daily trials and joys in your family help me to know that what I deal with on a daily basis is not abnormal. I have laughed and cried so many times over the last few days while reading your blog. Reading how your kids fight and make messes and then help out and love each other is so much like my house. Sometimes I am so frustrated and disheartened by what goes on in my house but knowing that I am not alone in my parenting woes is so nice. Especially being in Germany away from all my friends and family and home schooling all my kids. We are very isolated and so reading your blog is that link to the outside world. My 3 year old also has a sensory processing disorder like your son William. It can make things very difficult for our family. This same child is still struggling with language and so is mostly signing to make his needs known like Dennis. Knowing that there is another family out there dealing with these issues helps me get through the day. Thank you for sharing your days and your beautiful family with me. You are truly a blessing in my life right now. I will keep your family in my prayers as you are dealing with this series of unknown viruses. I hope everyone receives healing soon. Melissa Moss

Praying now for your family....

Oh dear, I hope your family begins to feel better soon. You might want to really consider taking the sick kids in to the doctor to get tested for swine flu. Tracking the disease if a very important part of the epidemic and it certainly sounds like it could be the swine flu from the symptoms you have mentioned. It's pretty late in the season for any other kind of flu. I really hope everyone feels better very soon! God Bless.

Your symptoms DO sound like the swine flu symptoms going around. I would definitely take them in...

Troy and Rachel said...

We'll be praying you all feel better soon. It's no fun to feel bad, especially in multiples.

Hope said...

Yay Anna!!
I'm thinking of you and praying for your family.

Tami said...

YAY for Anna!
I'm hoping we'll be able to get Anya started on GHT very soon. Its been put off for far too long. I'm hoping the news I'm getting ready to post on the blog will put us a step closer to getting her the help she needs.

Christina said...

WTG Anna! Sorry you are all sick, I am still recovering as well - it's not fun!

Beth said...

Yay for Anna! I glad to hear she is growing and the GHT is working.

I'll be praying for health and healing in your home. Also that you can stay healthy, as the mom I know how hard it can be when you're the sick one.

I'm glad to read an update on Anna's growth. I'm so glad the insurance mess got figured out in time for her to get the benefits of the medication. Best to you and your family.
