Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 My name is Debbie and my family lives in Rochester, NY. My son is 6 yrs old and was diagnosed at 18mos. He is now 30lbs. and 40 inches tall. He wears a 4T pant size because of his " long legs " but the waist must be altered. He grew a lot last year. His bathing suits and shorts are still 24mo size because of his skinny waist. He has worn the same clothes (shirts/jackets) for about 3 years. Tim has never had any medical treatment other than routine height/weight checks and saw the endocrinologist for the first time one year ago. We are currently discussing growth hormone therapy because his bone age is catching up to his real age. Tim is in first grade and very well liked. I am always worrying about any social problems but so far he is very well adjusted. I love our endocrinologist at Golisano Childrens Hospital at Strong. Good luck to you.
