- URGENT Marissa's bone age

[Guest guest]

!!!! CALL ME ASAP!!! Why has your doctor not suggested

postponing her puberty? I don't want to make medical diagnoses here,

but I am wondering very strongly if the reason she has also made such

a jump in height on GH is that she in early puberty. This may be

indicated by the fact that her bone age gas gone from delayed to way

past her chronological age.

Please, please, call me . Or more importantly, call Dr.

Harbison right away, since she has seen Marissa at the convention.
