[quote=Anonymous]DS is 11. His height is currently in the 18% and his weight in the 17%. Last year height was 23% and weight was 28%. He has always been a small kid (born full term, but was not on the charts yet, except for his 99% head). He was below 10% for height and weight for a long time. The dr is concerned because of the significant drop in both percentiles and recommended this. DS was very against it because of the blood test (and he had to get 3 shots that appointment, so wasn't the best time to bring it up). He does NOT seem small height wise compared to his friends,. I can't really tell weight wise, but he is skinny. His younger brother is 50% height and 38% weight.

Both his dad and I are only 5'4 and his dad's family is Hispanic and not the tallest (most of the women are under 5 feet). I think the tallest man is about 5'7?

I know a test is a test and it doesn't mean we have to do anything, and it will just give us information, but just wondering if others have been through this. If so, what pushed you to get tested.
