New results are in re 2x day dosage = FUSTRATION

I was told that controlling CAH was like walking a fine line, well that line is definately getting thinner. The results surprisingly revealed that my son's 17OHP (andro. and test.) are even LOWER then before! His endo believes that he is on such a minimal dose 2.5mg 2x per day for his age and weight (one year and 22lbs) that we can NOT lower it any further. When I asked what does this mean, she said that his height MAY be effected since he is definately over-surpressed. It appears that we are caught in a catch 22. I don't ever want to put his health in jeopardy, but I don't want to sacrifice his height either. I am REALLY concerned - ugh, this is so FUSTRATING!!! Does our endo's thinking sound correct? I really value all of your suggestions, thoughts, opinions...for the first time since my son was born I feel so helpless! Thanks, Kimberly
