Endo visit today
5/24/99 6:37 PM
Hi everyone, I'm sure you're tired of hearing from me and my lame questions but I'm back with another one. We went to the endo today. What a trip. I had several questions from info that I have learned from this board. My daughter is 16 months old and weighs 17 lbs, 8 ozs. She is not even at the 5th percentile on the charts. Each time I express my concern with her small stature I am informed that she is growing on her "Own" curve. I think that a sixteen month old that can still wear clothing from last summer (6-9 mos, some 12 mos) is a problem. I am 5'6'' and my husband is 6'3". When I asked him to explain the results from our last blood work he showed one level that was at 4 (should be less, not sure which one it was) he said that he liked to see it at 1-3. When I asked what caused this I was informed that it was the dosage of Cortef. I then asked if she wasn't getting too much and was it stunting her growth, he told me that she would "grow into it". I also asked for a bone age x-ray and was told that he preferred to wait until they were at a more cooperative age. Any suggestions? Thanks again, you guys are THE BEST!
