[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He could have a growth delay, my dd does. We didn’t discover it until she was around 4. Nothing really to do at this point. We see a endocrinologist and monitor. She has her growth plates measured once a year (she has a 2 year delay) meaning at 6 her body is at the size she is supposed to be at 3 not 6. She is very small (.01 percentile but doctors now compare her on charts with her bone age not her actual age and she’s average. Supposedly she’s either going to have a huge growth spurt or she will just continue growing longer meaning if most girls grow until they are 16/17 she may continue growing until she is 19. She has had a lot of bloodwork to rule out any other factors causing her growth to delay. Everything right now is normal as she gets older we may need to consider growth hormones but we aren’t there yet. But it very well could just be a delay easy to find out with a X-ray. [/quote]

Interesting. When did she start at an endocrinologist? 
Celiac was ruled out which is the blood test we got! 
Are you and your DH average height? [/quote]
