I was 5'6 " in 7th grade thru age 19. I grew another 1-2 inches (depends upon who does the measuring lol) after age 19. Is this a ds thing?

This is great news! I'm glad she's doing so well :-) If it helps, my granny was just under 5 foot tall. She was smaller than all of us and we *all* looked up to her.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 My Bear didn't grow any more after entering puberty and is about 4' 7 " . I've never made a big deal out of it and neither has she. Relax, . Lots of people are under 5 feet tall. granny A little disappointed > Hi. > Yesterday amanda went to her endocrinologist, her diabetes doctor.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Oh Deirde, I am so sorry. We are only picking up our band tomorrow so I cannot answer your question, but I cannot imagine the thrill of the end almost being there and then to have it pushed back.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 -Hang in there. 1 month will be here before you know it. You never know may have a big spurt and be done before then.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Deidre, That spot can be pretty stubborn. My fingers are crossed for a HUGE growth spurt. --- In Plagiocephaly , " cdjmmiller " <cdmg94@e...> wrote: > We had our appt at CT this morning and were told it will be about > another month.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Hang in there. You will be amazed of the results after one month. I know it seems forever, but it will go by so quickly. Dallas CT women are great...they want the best for your child Good Luck!!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Deidre, I know exactly how you feel--the same thing happened to us this week! It is a bummer, but at least you have a (small) light at the end of your tunnel now too! And yes, her progression has slowed majorly lately. Her first band results (in her photo folder) were amazing. , mom to Hannah, DOCbanded 5/12 and 8/12 Cape Cod, Ma --- In Plagiocephaly , " cdjmmiller " <cdmg94@e...> wrote: > We had our appt at CT this morning and were told it will be about > another month.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi , Don't worry, this can be very normal. stayed the same with the second cast. Your RVAD went down, which is so awesome. That is great, I am really encouraged by your visit. I bet you will get great results next time. was at 30 in his 1st cast, 33 in his 2nd cast and 23 in his 3rd. Try not to worry, (I know it is hard) but this happens alot. Crista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
