Today we had our bi-annual appointment at the Endocrinologist. Noah has been on Synthroid for hypothyroid since he was six months old. The good news, he has been on the same dosage all these years. His body has seemed to adjust and is using the minimal amount to keep our little man growing big and strong!
Noah has always been off of the Down syndrome growth/weight charts, as he is a big boy! He is on the typical growth charts and moving along at a wonderful pace.
Today he measured 40.25 inches and 36 lbs! He has remained constant on the typical growth chart at the 50% in height and he is around 40 - 45% on the typical weight chart... tall and skinny.
Lovin this little guy!
I am glad that you post about this. My son is also in the chart for typical kids and he is in the 80 percentile for height and 50 percentile for weight. I have also met other kids with down syndrome who are tall. Currently, the growth chart for kids with Down syndrome is being updated because it hasn't being updated since the '70s, so it is too old compared with all health care advance our kids have today.
