Hello Wendy-Lee

I still go through periods when I eat and sleep too much, but I stopped growing a long time ago! There are so many other variables apart from growth that affect eating and sleeping patterns.

Even when things are going smoothly and growth is perfect, we parents still worry. As you have identified, replacement therapy can only approximate normality, and as Martha has said "normal" growth is impossible to ascertain in any case.

The issue here isn't simply whether your daughter needs the test, but whether you would also benefit from her having it. Ask for a test, for your own peace of mind.
