Big Guy

There was a time when Isaac was followed by a handful of doctors. There was the physical therapist, the geneticist, the neurosurgeon, and the endocrinologist. Now, he just ses the endocrinologist once a year. She's a very nice, shorter lady. That visit was yesterday. Isaac is still falling somewhere between the 5th and 10th percentile for height which means he's following his curve. This is great news. He had an x-ray of his hand to see if his bone age is still behind his biological age. The doctor suspects it is and that's a good thing. You stop growing when your bone age is 17. So, Isaac should continue growing after his peers have stopped. Based on his place on the curve and the bone age factor, the doctor predicts his final height will be somewhere between 5'7" and 5'9". Wow!

In the meantime, Isaac lives his life like he already is a big guy. I understand. I'm always surprised when I see myself next to taller friends and family members. I feel taller than I am and I think Isaac does too.

That's Isaac resting on the top platform. I love that big guy!
