DS is holding steady (knock on wood) since starting Remicade. He gets his third infusion in a week. I've heard that kids sometimes have growth spurts when starting Remicade and am wondering how long I should give him before looking into an Endo appt. I'm concerned because not much is changing and he's been on four (five?) courses of pred in the last two years. He does have signs of puberty.
He's been around 85 pounds and 4'10" for a good seven months and he'll turn 14 in March. It has caught the attention of his GI but not enough for him to refer us to Endo. I always feel like I'm behind the ball when it comes to stuff like this... maybe I'm just borrowing trouble?
Thoughts? And what exactly can and Endo do? What will we learn from it? Is it worth trying to squeeze in an appt before the end of the year for insurance? My original plan was to wait until March, but our insurance is changing and I'm thinking it might be better to move it up to this year.
I'm 5'2", early bloomer, and the Hubster is 6' and was a late bloomer. About as opposite as oil and water.
