I have custody of my grandchildren.My granddaughter is 7 now. Since she was a toddler she has been very petite,also constantly sick.She had stomach pains vomiting up until the present,even hospitilized.She too,was sent to a nephrologist.Unfortunately she was diagnost with hypercalceria,to much calceium(little crystals)these can form into kidney stones.She still has tummy issues also.She is sick at least once a day,vomits so often,she is still very short although her weight has picked up.To me is looks like water weight.The drs. sent us home with a diet and said to drink lots of water.Her problem is getting worse,I’mtrying to find anoter dr.Good Luck

take the child to the Children’s Orthopedic Hospital run by Masonic or Masons. All child care is free, no questions ask. Paid for by the Mason membership and trust funds.

If she is below the fifth centile for age, her height is grossly abnormal and needs investigation. Many chronic illnesses can lead to short stature, including coeliac disease, chronic renal failure, etc.
