Another Letter

We received a letter from our insurance today. I knew it was time for them to review the growth hormone coverage. Initially, it had been approved for 6 months. Luckily, they approved it for another six months!

Getting Involved in High School Sports

Kyle has always loved football. He had played for the last 6 years. But this year was different. He would be going up against men. I was sad that he wasn't going to play high school football, but was also relieved. Not only the fact that he could get crushed, but I didn't want him to be the kid that other towns made fun of for being so short.

He played baseball for several years, but decided not to pursue it once his age group joined the Babe Ruth league. He would be facing pitchers that were approaching 6 feet tall. So he chose to end his baseball career. And it had nothing to do with his HGH use!

Basketball has never been much of an interest to Kyle, unlike his little sister who lives and breaths basketball. By the way, he does have a little sister who is 2 1/2 years younger than him, and she's in the 25th percentile in height, so no worries there. She is trying very hard to catch up with Kyle in height, but I don't think she's going to get there in time.

Kyle's dad was a good wrestler. Maybe that's a sport that Kyle will want to try. True, he's never wrestled before, but at least it's a sport that he can compete against kids his own size.

Wrestling it is. Kyle started wrestling practice with the big boys and was able to find his place in the 103 weight class. True, he didn't even weigh 90 lbs, so most kids he wrestled against had 10 pounds and 10 years experience on him. But, he was part of a team and that was BIG for Kyle. And for that effort he put forth, he gained a Varsity letter as a freshman, one of only 2 boys in his class to earn that honor. Soon, we will be shopping for a letterman's jacket. Good for Kyle!
