[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who does these X-rays and reads them? I have a very short 15 1/2 year old. Pediatrician never seems concerned. He’s only 5’3”[/quote] Is he a late bloomer? How tall are are the parents? My DS was a late bloomer. Hit full on puberty at 16. When he finished MS, he was just around 5'. He was 5'3" at 15 5'5.5" at 16 A little over 5'9" at 17 And still growing per the pediatrician. He also had bone xray at 10 due to pain in his foot. The doctor assumed it was growing pains, and he was right. He said DS' bone age is behind 12 to 18months. DH and I are both late bloomers, and DH grew till about 20. So we expect DS to continue with his regular growth pattern going into 18, and a bit after, then slow down until about 20. Pediatrician thinks he might hit 6'. DS was so happy. As you must be aware, he hated being so short. He was also the shortest.[/quote]
