Guest guest Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Tanner is 10 years old with RSS. He weighs 40 pounds right now. We just got physical custody of him in June. He weighed 36 pounds when he got here. His mom used to tell Tanner that he was a dwarf, and called him " Shorty " , even had that printed on his soccer jersey. So far, he is on a high calorie diet alone. He was on growth hormones when he was a toddler. He is in 4th grade, and doing well. Some kids have made comments, but he has amazing strength. We don't know anyone locally with RSS, and are hoping to meet more kids here. We live in Northern CA. Tanner is just starting to type, and wants to learn more about RSS too. His teacher is going over it with him today. Tanner has been through a lot in his life already, and we are looking forward to this transition being a positive one for him.
