Josiah has a great team of doctors caring for him. He’s had a few appointments this year already, and more in the coming months, so I thought now would be a great time for a quick update! Things have been relatively quiet on the medical front these days, and we are extremely grateful! That’s not […]

Growth Hormone Shots

We put a new needle on the pen […]
