Results and Good Things!

We received a call only 10 minutes after I talked to the nurse. Dr. Travers called  and explained that Liam has what is called an anterior ectopic pituitary gland, this means that the front of his pituitary gland is growing in the wrong place. This is what is causing his growth hormone deficiency. There were no tumors or anything else of concern seen on his MRI. Praise God!!! So the next step was to send her approval and diagnosis to the insurance company and get the GH started.....

We prepared ourselves, bumps are normal and would happen and the amount of time it would take to get the hormone would probably be longer than expected. 

We were correct, and that's ok! The insurance company was confused and at first we were told he would be starting a hormone called Omnitrope, but because our pharmacy insurance is different from our medical insurance the formulary for the correct pharmacy prescribed Norditropin. (This was more than a 4 week process of finding out and starting over) the companies, nurses and case workers have been very helpful. As of today (we are SO excited) the hormones are being overnighted for delivery tomorrow morning!!! Finally!!! God is so good. We now will wait for the nurse to call, she will come to our house to teach us how to give the injections!!
