Good morning Daves, back to work after a day in the Children's Hospital in Morristown for a planned test

Morning Scott, Dean. Hope the test results were favorable.

No results for 10 days, my son is very small for his age, always at the bottom or below the growth curve for his age. After a couple trips to the endocrinologist and a nutritionist we are now making sure there's nothing blocking his production of growth hormone. They stimulated that yesterday and took blood every 30 minutes for 4 hours. No other health issues and he's a good athlete so as long as it's normal for him to be this size we won't pursue any other treatments (growth hormone).

Hope it all works out for him.

good morning Dave, and Dave, and Dave. I'm on R&R today. Leonino and coffee to start.

Morning Dean. Any further details on Barry, anyone?

nothing more than what the obit said. morning Scott.

What the hell was the cause of death?

just said he died unexpectedly. I'm concerned about his cigars. he had quite a collection going back years. being Mennonite you know they'll probably just trash them along with his Maple Bourbon.

Let's remember Barry, whose funeral was scheduled to be on Monday.


I was stunned to hear of Barry's death. Thanks for all who posted info & links Would've like to have been at his funeral to pray for his soul, pay my respects & hear good things about him. He was one of the hardest working guys around: teaching school, taking care of his kids, making sure they did well in school & in hockey, surviving abandonment by his wife, rebuilding the old farm house, harvesting asparagus, helping everyone at Cigarfest , getting only 3-4 hours of sleep ... maybe he just wore out/// RIP, Barry! Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.  May his soul and all of the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen. Good man.

Amen.

My middle kid is the same way, skinny as an absolute rail, a bit on the short side for her age. I'm sure it'll be nothing.

It's funny but my daughter is petite also, not that it's right but just seems more acceptable for girls than boys. They are 2 years apart and he's barely bigger than she is

That would be sad considering the time and cost it takes to develop a nice collection and that we know what it meant to him

Wow!  Got two new kindergarten bulletin boards in the office while I was gone.

The later teen years can bring dramatic changes.  My son's nickname on the cross country team in middle school was "Tiny".  Now he's 6 ft tall.

Been there and lived through that but always good to make sure there are no other underlying conditions, GoodDadsfish.  My mother never gave up trying to "fatten" me up.  Finally caught up with me in my 30's.

And Happy Tuesday, mofos.

Yep, those 30's are were a bitch.  Started thinning on top and thickening in the middle.
