Bone Age Scan - School Holidays Day 2

On the second day of Term 1 school holidays, I brought Ethan to the clinic to do a bone age scan as suggested by our PD. Ethan has always been on the petite side since young and we were rather concerned that he's still much smaller in size when compared to his peers especially now that he is in Primary 2.

We visited our PD sometime before Chinese New Year to express our concerns over his growth rate and size in particular. He told us that Ethan was in the 3rd percentile 2 years ago when he last checked and 3rd percentile now that he's is in Primary 2. So technically, being able to maintain within the 3rd percentile range over the last 2 years goes to show that he is still growing. He suggested that we do a bone age scan for him to check his exact bone age before doing other tests to determine what caused him to be of a smaller built.

True enough, today's scan results has shown that his bone is that of a 5 to 6 year old child. This indicates that Ethan will probably have extra 2 years in his teen years, as compared to his peers, for his bones to continue growing. 

With this scan results, it just sets our mind at peace :)
