Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers for Wyndham today. She received a great report for now- no growth hormone shots needed for at least another six months! We're so happy for her to continue to be able to skip these nightly injections and we're going to keep hoping that her body will keep doing what its doing and stay on curve with her growth.The short story is that her pituitary gland was damaged in her initial brain injury and for the first year after the incident she didn't grow at all. She has been behind on her growth and been playing 'catch up' for several years and just this past year showed a nice pace on the growth charts. The doctors feel it may be early puberty that is the explanation for her body being able to maintain this growth (even though it has slowed some the past 6 months) and they are going to keep an eye on how things continue to go. Thus, no need for shots right now. Hooray!
This report made me think back to one of the first scrap pages I ever made- one about our hopes and dreams for Wyndham despite all she is up against. I am humbled and grateful- yet again- that God has brought her this far and it is just the little bit of "good news" I need as we face her major surgery in just a couple of months. I am dreading it for her- but again, I know the best thing we can do for her is pour out our love and care and most of all never stop hoping for the best!
Finally I just have to ask... is it just me, or does Wyndham have an amazing smile?! I love it on her so much and feel blessed to see it on her every day. =)

I hope you see this comment...I recently found your blog from your comment on someone's Facebook page (I'm thinking Jen Hatmaker or someone similar?) regarding Coke Float Day. We're having a Hymn Sing at our church on Thursday, with a dessert bar afterwards, and I was planning on taking a tub of vanilla and some bottles of Coke, with cups and spoons. I Googled cfd so I could find your explanation and maybe print it out on a little sign beside the "fixins", so people could know what a precious thing it was. And then I started to read other posts. And I kept reading. And here it is, 1:35 am EDT, and I'm still reading. And then, I found this post. Our oldest daughter was born in 2006 with congenital panhypopituitarism, so we know well the bedtime routine of gh injections and other medications. (She is healthy and thriving...I'm so thankful for God's covering.) Praying your dear Wyndham is continuing to thrive, as well. I will have to save follow-up reading for another day. Much love to you, from another mama in the trenches.
