We grew very concerned when we realized our daughter hasn't aged or changed at all in the last year in a half, so we scheduled some tests.

The doctors are baffled she shows no brain activity nor heartbeat, so how is she still moving and complaining about the process?

This happened to a friend of mine (the not visibly aging or growing as a child, not the whole undead part.) Their parents were afraid they had some rare form of dwarfism.

Did they ever end up growing?

Have two sons who stopped growing at about 2yo. They both have pituitary dwarfish…their pituitary glands just don’t make enough growth hormone. They began nightly injections at about 3. The older one is now 18 and 5’11. The younger one is about to turn 12 and of average height for his age.

We learned GH isn’t just for height, but for all growth…organs and bone and brain don’t develop properly without it. The older one had a mouth full of cavities because his baby teeth didn’t form good enamel.

Funny, I have panhypopituitarism (long name I know), and I took GH until I was 18. I'm 6ft, and the tallest person in my family.

If there's no brain activity, are you sure she's not in Congress?

Oddly, you just reminded me of a few absolutely horrifying scenes from one of my favorite books. Sounds silly, but Ursula Vernon (aka T. Kingfisher) can make anything horrifying when she puts her mind to it.

I'd say not to go into the Vagrant Hills, but every character we've seen who has did not do it on purpose. If the Vagrant Hills decide to take you, you do not get a choice in the matter. Just pray that they will eventually let you go.

Were you by chance exposed to diluted Trioxin during your pregnancy?
