[quote=Anonymous]Op may be long gone but I’ll chime in. We noticed a huge drop off the curve over a few years between about 10-13, from 70 to 50 to 8 percent in height and even less in weight. I had to really push for testing because everyone said “oh boys can shoot up later.” Eventually after other inconclusive tests )blood and bone scan) we had growth hormone challenge and at 13.5 he was diagnosed with idiopathic growth hormone deficiency. Is now on treatment and has grown 2.5 inches in the past year so is about 5’2, maybe 5’3” now ” (at 14.5). He is also putting on weight finally…..he was soooo skinny and ate like a bird. Like would go the entire day without eating. [/quote]
