Sharon,
Morgan does not have any growth issues, but he does have hypothyroidism, which 
means his thyroid is underactive.  This is easily treated with a medicine 
called synthroid.  It is the standard treatment and I know tons of people who 
take it.   I do know that weight gain is common with hypothyroid, but there are 
many other symptoms.  Is Jason suffering from any of the other symptoms, such 
as: lethargy, constipation, body aches, head aches, sluggishness, lack of 
interest in many normal activities?

The clay doesn?t ask, ?Why did 
you make me this way??? (Isaiah 45:9 CEV).
