Thanks, Karen. This place is really such a wonderful resource.  I already feel better reviewing the info on this site and reading the posts.  I wish I had known about it from the beginning.

I知 looking at the medical reports a little more carefully.  This last report on my son indicates he has a chronological age of 8.5 years.  However, at the time of the test he was 9 years and 7 months.  I知 suspecting this is may be what caused the increase in deviations from his expected bone age.  I have an appointment to see his regular ped this afternoon and I am going to ask.  I知 going to be a little upset if a typo caused all this hullabaloo (sp??).  When the doctor got the last bone age results she indicated she was concerned about his ultimate height prediction and advised we get the Lupron stim test.  2000 out of pocket dollars later, I知 hoping this was a necessary test, to say the least. 

The doc痴 letter says to stay on the same dose of Florinef.  To my knowlege, my son is only on Cortef.  Is Florinef another name for Cortef?  Also, and I know this is a dumb question, do you think my kids have LOCAH?  I知 reading the posts and trying to find the appropriate forum.

Thanks again, all!
