Suggest Remedy For A Hormonal Problem

My daughter is 8 years old her height is 122 cm and her weight is 33 kg. I took her to the doctor and he said that she is short and he made her bone xray to her left hand and a growth hormone. The xray of her hand showed that the age of the bone is 8 years. The results of growth hormone were as follows: 0 min - 0.312 ug/L 30 min 0.721 ug/L 45 min 0.83 60 min 0.903 120 min 0.904 180 min. 0.426 Having in mind that me and my husband are not short and when she was 6 she gained 7 centimenter and when she was 7 year she gained 5 cm height. The doctor recommend that she should have a growth hormon. My question does she need the hormone or should I wait and moniter her for another 1 year.
