Man with Red Hair....

Today I took Michael to get his hair cut. He originally wanted them to color it as well, but the place we went to does not do that. So, afterwards, we went to Sally's Beauty place and found some red hair dye. We also found some blue hair spray stuff that he also wanted. Here are some of the pics from our event of dying hair:

what a goofball!

what happens when you eat too many carrots!!

This will be a busy week for Michael. He has a doctor appt. on Wednesday. They will draw blood to measure his hormone levels and probably take an x-ray to see what his bone-age is now. Then on Saturday he tests for his next belt. We have to get up early and get everyone there by 8:30am and we will spend the morning at the meet. Sunday we hope to meet up with our friends from Spokane and go skating. Should be a fun weekend!

Michael's Story...

Michael was born weighing 8lbs 14oz and 20.5" long. At 1yr old he was noted as being on the 'small side', but nothing too troubling. By his 18month checkup he had fallen to the 3rd %iles and was referred to a pediatric endocrineologist. He was measured from head to toe, and had a bone age scan done. It was then we found out his bone age was that of a nine month old. He was followed every 3-6 months and always grew just enough to please the doctor.
By the time he started first grade however, he had completely stopped growing. At 6 years old he was just 39" tall and 35 lbs. It was then we started HGH therapy.
