Third Week, third post

We have been been giving .7 doses of Genotropin to our boy for three weeks now. It has become as natural as giving shots to a 4 year boy can be. He sees me with the pen and says "no, not tonight". The boy has a way of conveying sadness and pain that is hardwired to my heart. He hasn't shown any side effects. He does fall asleep holding his head. Headaches are a side effect that we were warned about. He hasn't vocalized that he has a headache, but does a 4 year old really know how to vocalize that? The medication and the giving of shots is so strange for me. I'm not "afraid" of needles. I am very uncomfortable around them. The Pfizer pen is nice enough. I just wish there was a different way of providing the medication. A tasty lollipop comes to mind! My wife says it seems that the boy is growing. I learned long ago to not argue with a woman's intuition. That goes double for a mother and her child. I hope he has grown. I will trust that my wife's innate ability is correct and the medication is working, and will continue to work. I will hang my close on this line. Love ya, Mom.
