-- Hilary's Latest Medical Information --

March 19, 2006

We received over the weekend from Hil's endocrinologist along with the latest blood test results---VERY good news:

"Hilary's HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE level was 33, then 6.9, and is now 3.1!

Her IGF-1 level had been 1070, then 809, and is now 570,
which is in the normal range for her age, finally!!"

Dr. Akright was so impressed with the results that she is having Hilary stop the daily thyroid pill she is on and is starting a steroid "weaning schedule" to slowly enable Hilary to stop taking the steroid pill, as well. She continues to write that she "is hopeful with the other hormone levels measured that your own pituitary can function on its own, again (those levels measured 12/05 were undetectable). Her next MRI in toward the end of April, so we'll see how much more shrinkage there is.

Grace, peace and love to you ALL,
the Morrows
