Corey was the the larger twin at birth. The fact that both were healthy at birth but on the small side was cause for no alarm because I am only 5'6".
However over the first two years his sister passed him in growth. It wasn't until after they began to walk and their two year checkup that it became clear something is wrong.
He saw a specialist today and they did all the blood work and all you suggested.
There has been no illness type symptoms. No rashes, redness, fever, however even in pictures I can see his discomfort while others enjoy an activity.
It is difficult to get my daughter to write or talk about it but she is on top of it. She has always been a good mother. Maybe a little over protective.
It seem the muscles or tendons are not growing or are contracting. Like I said his growth is slow. My daughter says his muscles feel tight never relaxed.
We were in Germany for their first birthday and there was no sign of anything wrong. Corey was still the bigger of the two twins. Both were very active. So I must say the onset was around 18 months.
I just pray it is something that can be treated and does not get progressively worse.
