Ok my son is 2 and I have been worried about his growth since he was about 10 months old. Every couple of weeks I would get him measured and he would not have grown, we finally got a referral last june but then moved to the states:dohh:
Anyway long story short, we got him an appointment with a pediatric endocrinologist 2 weeks ago where he was measured, still 75cm.
The doctor then did blood tests which showed my son is anaemic, his electrolytes are off and so is his calcium.
He also had a bone study, this showed his bones are too young for his age, his growth plates are not developing properly and he has bowing of his legs:cry:

Now the doctor was stumped as to whats wrong with my boy and is speaking to a bone specialist and a kidney specialist but we are still in the dark and worried sick!

Does anybody here have any idea what could be wrong?:hugs:
 
I honestly have no idea!! Sounds so frightening for you though, I hope they get to the bottom of it quickly! *hugs*
 
I hope you get some answers soon.
Does he have any stomach problems? xxxx
 
He does have a distended shape stomach and he has had a couple of nappies which had blood in them, but when we got him checked out we were told he had an anal fissure.
Thanks everyone:hugs:
Im going to go chase them up again today!
