Do you have a height-to-weight chart for children with
achondroplasia? We got one last year from Dr. Rimoin's office:
1-310-423-9906. Ask for Jeannie Kreutzman.

Does your son have obstructive sleep apnea?? Or does he have a
problem with vomiting? Does he soak the bedsheets with sweat every
night? If he does, he may be burning up so many calories just trying
to breathe that he isn't gaining any weight.

Let me know,
