My 14.5 year old son has short stature (Proportionate). He's 4'8". Unsure of cause. He eats healthy. Dr. Hasn't gotten back to me in almost 2 weeks (after calling) and I'm scared. From what I can tell it looks like he has anemia but no clue where it's coming from. He has a small bladder diagnosed in 2011. Can someone help, please? Thank you. If other info. is needed I can provide it. His father and grandfather have discord lupus(skin only) and his father has NMO(Devic's-rare) and they have amer. Indian in them. His labs and xray results as follows:
