Guest guest Posted March 14, 2000 Report Share Posted March 14, 2000 Hum, good question!! Cory is 7 and weighs 37 lbs soaking wet (which is often!!! still in diapers) and his shoe size is a child's 9. Zach is 10 , weighs 65lbs (51 inches tall...as per yesterday at the pulmo visit) and wears a size 2 in boys shoes. Both the boys do have micro-stuff (celphia, genetialia, kidney size, etc) and have always been below the 5th precentile. Well Zach no longer is but he certainly is in the smaller group of kids in his third grade class (even though he " should " be in 5th grade age wise). Their dad is 6' 2 " (215lbs) and mom(me) just barely making to 5 feet (125lbs). Tony (dad) does have thyroid issues .. and after reading the postings about thyroids here on the list I'm begining to wonder about Zach ... he's recently started to " puff " up a bit ... marshmellowy type of weight gain (face and stomach).. you know where ya just want to pinch his squishy cheeks and smile. I will probably have Tony ask his endo doc about it then next time he goes there (should be in a couple of weeks) to see is she has any imput that might be helpfull??? I'd also like to hear if anyone else here is having to deal with " abnormally " large tonsils/adnoids with their kids. Cory is suspected of having obstructed apnea from where his tonsils are blocking off the airways when he lays down. How we found out about this is his speech/swallow issues were continuing to get worse. The video Floriscope showed that he only had 1mm of space to breath thru in his nose because of the adnoids and just a tiny bit of room in his throat to swallow food thru. The " suspected " reason that he is getting choked on food is because what doesn't go down the throat is being pushed up into his nose till a path is cleared. Since there isn't enough room to eat AND breath it's no wonder he's chosen to air over food. We were scheduled for a T & A to be done on the 21st but that has been cancelled (bummer) because the ENT and our PCP were concerned about post-op problems so they want it to be done at the Children's Hospital (which our current ENT doesn't have priliveges). So we have to start all over and go from there. Originally the ENT said that if it were just nutriention related he'd rather opt for a G-tube placement and leave the Tonsils and adnoids (Cory's not a good surgical " risk " kinda guy since he's allergic to most of the pain meds <ie Morphine, Fentynl, Codiene>) but since it was found to be interfering with breathing it's not optional anymore. The ENT still feels that neurologically speaking Cory will eventually need (catch this) auxilary nutritional assistance (ughh give me a break!!! just spit it out in plain english!!). So in a way I'm sort of glad that we'll have to start fresh with a new ENT, hopefully this one will not be on the Flonaise/allergy kick and use " plain " words in conversation. :::I can hope can't I??? Well I'd better go ... we have to prove to the school board that Tori is having conductive hearing loss from the retracting eardrums ... guess they gotta " see " it to beleive the many reports generated by the ENT and local Speech/Hearing Clinic here. So it's off for a 30 minute drive to their main office to have them test her in " their " soundproof box. Oh the joys of public education huh?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2000 Report Share Posted March 14, 2000 Hi My son is small for his age also - age 8.5. His foot size is a childs13. Just figured I put that out for comparison for you. He is 47 lbs and about 120 cm. (whatever that is in inches!). He seemed to stop growing for a while and then started again. Seemed to be a shoe size 12 for over a year and a half. His weight has been very variable - height used to be above 50 percent but now down under 10. H karen h Tiny feet?? > From: dsrtdwlr@... > > This might be a silly ???

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2000 Report Share Posted March 14, 2000 I wonder if most of the kids with small feet can walk? Karly is a non-walker. I wonder if they can bear weight if that would make the feet grow more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2000 Report Share Posted March 15, 2000 Steph began walking at 5, and walks/runs at 10 and her feet are still teeny, even for her smaller size.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2000 Report Share Posted March 16, 2000 How is the rest of her growth? One of the signs of growth hormone failure in addition to no linear growth is that the feet don't grow either.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2000 Report Share Posted March 16, 2000 Jeanine, a was 43.5 inches and 6.9 years when she died. Although she was short for 7, her feet were still EXTREMELY small for her height. She had been in the 80% for height early on, but after seizures, meds, the keto diet things changed.
