So difficult child saw his pediatrician today, first well child check he has had with this guy as he is new since difficult child came home from Residential Treatment Center (RTC).
difficult child has always been small. He is 14, and the size of a fourth grader. He weighs 91lbs and is about 54inches tall. doctor is concerned as he is so small, and wants him to see an endocrinologist. Problem is? They have to look at things he does not want people to look at, if you get my drift. He refused to let pediatrician look today.
How important is this? I am not tall, ex is not tall and he was a very late bloomer. difficult child will fight this tooth and nail, and I don't know if he will cooperate or not. I have to travel 4hrs to see this doctor, and don't want to go if the exam cannot even be done due to difficult child's refusal.
difficult child has been on stims since he was 8. I think that the stims are part to blame for this. I am thinking that it might be wiser to take him off the stims first for a few weeks, more if I can stand it, and see how he does.
Opinions? I want to do what is right for difficult child, and know that what is right may not be what he wants.
