Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 She has always been shorter than most kids her age but there was a concern with her docs for a while about her weight gain because at ten years old she was up to 115 pounds but she will be twelve in January and has started slimming down some now and is down to 102 So now her doctor isnt complaining about her weight anymore.

He caught up pretty fast once they started hormone therapy. However if she has been on the same growth curve all of her life than your probably right and it is an inherited height. It is usually when they drop off their own growth curve that it indicates a problem.

I never really thought about hormones having an affect on her growth and will ask her doc about it.

My eleven year old autistic daughter has been so sick for the last couple of weeks with constant sinus infections and will haveing surgery on October,11 to hopefully clear up the stuff that is clogged in there and stop all the infections, it seems that her sinus cavities are very small and do not drain properly. She will be twelve in January and is only four feet tall and still wears a little girls size two shoes and it is really weird to me cause my son Adam,(not autistic) will be nine in a couple of weeks is already five feet two and wears a mens shoe size nine and a half. People think he is the older brother. My Mom always told me when I was a child that I couldnt find a happy medium in anything I do, LOL I guess she was right. I am rambling off subject but I am not looking forward to the surgery and yall please pray for her because she wont be able to understand fully what is happening to her. And her doctor says it could take up to two weeks to recouperate. Sharon All-new - Fire up a more powerful email and get things done faster. Stay in the know. Pulse on the new .com. Check it out.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Hi all It has been a long time since I replied but I still read everyone posts with great interest, but I have to comment on this topic. My 7 year old son, on the spectrum, had a rather serious accident at school on Tuesday (hence the delay in replying), he fell of the money bars & broke both bones in both his forearms & had to have emergency surgery. This happened before school @ about 8.45am & he was operated on at 4pm, so we had a day of seeing our GP, then x-rays, then to the ER, then the ER Dr then the ortho surgeon, and a series of other doctors & nurse in the hospital, a teaching hospital. He didn’t have a meltdown all day & this is the kid who melts down every time we have to see any other docs other than our GP. He only started to complain when he was told that he had to say over night, but when he was told that I could stay he settle down… we had another short dummy spit in the morning when he was told that he must leave the plasters (which are from shoulder to fingers) on, he want it all to be fixed before he left the hospital that morning. He has been so good with the whole ordeal, so I hope that this gives you some hope Sharon, it may not be too bad, my prayers are with you for a good outcome too Narelle in Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 We got home about 3:00 or so yesterday. is doing well. She is eating, lightly. Slept very good and seems to be managing her pain with her typical " mind over matter." Her dr doesn't want her to attend school for about a week though and this is something new. Her follow-up appointment is next Wednesday. Will keep you all in the loop! Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
