Grew another 1/2 inch in the past couple of weeks and gained two pounds.

DS (9) is up to 67% for height

Two years ago he was at the 25%.

So despite his extra stuff going on
Humira + peptamen jr seems to be working to keep him
Growing .

He drinks 750 calories a day of peptamen jr.

Yeah!! So glad the Humira seems to be working. How long has it been now?

 

[my little penguin]

He started humira at the end of April but had to increase the dose in June .

 

[Johnnysmom]

That's awesome!!!

Johnny is starting to take off now too. Makes taking those meds all worth it.

 

[Jmrogers4]

That is so awesome! Gives me hope we may get there at some point, just need to find what will work.

So happy your little guy is growing again!! I hope the Humira continues to work for a very long time!

My ds is still on Remicade. During the year he's been on it he's grown 5 inches and gained 19lbs! I hate him being on Remi but we both love the results

 

[kimmidwife]

[Twiggy930]

Fantastic!!!

 

[my little penguin]

He grew six inches in the past year and half-(ok mostly past year):eek2::eek2:


So formula ( peptamen jr)-:headbang::headbang: even if it tastes bad.


Don't know if I mentioned this
but rheumo told us to add maple syrup to the peptamen jr.
IT really helps with the taste:tongue::highfive:

 

[crohnsinct]

Maple syrup?!!! O would uke_r: She hates all things maple. I know! A disgrace to New England!

So glad he is growing! An awesome sign considering IBD likes to attack vertical growth. Clearly a credit to good parenting

 

[my little penguin]

He also suggested Honey but - that didn't go over so well.:whistleinnocently:

OF course it is the parenting that helps growth:rof::rof::rof:

 

[momoftwinboys]

:mario2::mario2::mademyday:WOW!! So happy to hear ds is having so much growth! Looks like things are pointing to things are heading in right direction.

 

[Twiggy930]

The kids and I HATE maple syrup too! I should be careful as I may have my citizenship revoked saying such things. :ylol2:
