Well-Check Time

Mid-March seems like a good time to get G's 4 year and Macie's 9 year annual well checks.  Of course, we have been to the doctor since their birthdays (a few times, in fact) but never for a "well" visit, just lots of sick ones.  So, we went healthy yesterday.  Stats...

G, 4 years 3 months, 37 lbs, 40 inches, 50th percentile
Macie, 9 years 1 month, 49 lbs, 47 inches...nope, still not on charts

Last year we met with the pediatric endocrinology dept at UVa.  She has had a couple bone age scans, that indicate "Constitutional Growth Delay" aka delayed bone growth; meaning she still has the potential for a spontaneous growth spurt.  If she continues at this growth rate with no rapid growth spurt she has a projected adult height of 4'10.  She does qualify for growth hormone, but we decided to hold off on it for now.  (There are certain factors that would cause us to revisit that decision if necessary).  She is healthy, strong and perfect.  We don't want to make a big deal of it...unfortunately for her, having a 5 year old sister taller than you is a enough of a reminder.
