bone age

[Guest guest]

Hi'

My son is now 7yr 6 mo. We survived the agony of severe

reflux, feeding tubes and constant virus infections. He is now a

happy healthy soon to be second grader. He is 48 " and 48 lbs on a

good day! My new concern is his bone age. It keeps creeping up with

each endo apt. and currently is between 8-9 yrs old. We're 6 months

into braces and expanders with most of his permanant teeth in on top.

He has slight pubic hair but no change in testicle or body odor. Does

any one know what criteria Dr. H uses regarding bone age and testing

for andarche (sp?). I just have that mama's feeling that things

aren't right and any input would be greatly appreciated.
