my nephew is 11 and weighs 100lbs and he is no where near obese...so i must assume that your son is very short for his age.
the steroids will give them a more dense appearance but i would talk to your pedi about your concerns. they would have his growth charted throughout the years, they would also be able to refer you to a nutritionalist that can help you plan a course of action to help him shed any extra pounds slowly, naturaly and healthy.

I know most steriods make you gain more weight when you are one them.(I have asthma and from time to time am on steriods and hate looking so bloated) I am not sure if they affect your weight afterwards. I noticed my weight always got better after I got off them, so I am not sure what to tell you. You should talk to your doctor about it.

I am asking a new question and it wont let me open a new forum for today. Anyway, do any of you know where to get maternity clothes for women 5'9 or taller? I bought large pants for the length, and they will hardly even stay above my rear. I need some medium that are for tall girls! Help! I looked on Old Navy, but nothing showed the longs available. Thanks!
Go to Landsend.com. Or you can go to a Google search and type in maturnity clothes for tall girls or something along those lines and see what it pulls up. Lands End though had something for talls. Good Luck I hope you find what you are needing. Also try Motherhood or Mothertime they may have something.
I am almost 5'11 and I just found the most wonderful jeans at Target. They are by Liz Lange and do not have the funky panel in the front. They have elastic in the back with 2 adjusting buttons. I love them. They go below your belly. Good Luck! Danielle
Try JCPenney, they had alot in maternity talls. I'm only 5'6 but I end up buying talls since my inseam is 32". They also have these great adjustable waist pants. I have them, they're awesome.
what ever you do...if you find pants that actually fit the way they are supposed to (length wise) DON'T LET DH DO LAUNDRY!!!
my mom found a pair of slacks for me...i was so excited not only were they long enough but she found them on a clearance rack. i got to wear them one time...then dh, trying to be nice(which i appreciate) washed and dried the pants....they shank i swear 3 to 4 inches...so of course if i wear them now i look like i'm wearing high waters.
