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?
