C and T had a follow up appointment this past week. We were scheduled for an appointment in April, but when I took C into his pediatrician in December, he noticed that C was physically changing again. He was concerned enough to tell me to let Dr. Foster know and see what she wanted to. I Called the endocrine nurse the next day to let her know what was going on. Dr. Foster ordered labs and a bone age for both C and T. I had those done the following week and waited to hear the results.
We went to doctor Foster's on Tuesday and the good news is that the bone age for both C and T is still 8 years old. Labs looked great as well. The bad news is that C is physically changing and there isn't an explanation as to why. I am at a loss. Dr. Foster feels like C just might continue to have slight changes but overall stay suppressed. I just wish my little boy could stay a little boy until it's time for him to grow up. He's only 6 1/2 and has to deal with issues that are at least 5+ years ahead of him. I wish I could understand better what is going on with his body. I wish I could understand why puberty is starting so much earlier for boys and girls. I know that researchers are getting closer to understanding why it's happening to so many girls, but I think too many parents are unaware of what is truly going on with their boys because they don't know this problem exists. Dr Foster said that C and T are not the only ones who are difficult to suppress. They are growing in numbers at her clinic. I hope we can find an answer soon.......
