Lynn, That's interesting because even when Ryan was at 10 his bone age has always been within 3 months of his cronilogical age. What I would think to be perfect. Also the last few weeks I feel like Ryan can't stop eating. I'v never seen him like this except after he was born. I remember feel helpless because I couldn't keep up with feeding him. The endo told me it was the Cortef and he would get used to it. He did. But I also felt like I could withhold sometimes and help "train him". But lately all he wants to do is eat constantly. He spent Tuesday with a friend of mine and she commented that all he did was ask for food. I think my next visit at the end of Sept with the endo will be one filled with many questions. Thanks for your response. Judy
