What Causes Poor Physical Growth In A Child?

Hi, My son is 10 years old. My husband and I have been concerned because he doesn’t seem to be keeping up with his peers in size. (Height) I’ve also noticed for some time that his ring finger on both hands are abnormally short. His pediatrician recently sent him for an X-ray of his growth plate. While his chronological age is 10 years, 2 months, his bone age is 13. I’ve been researching his symptoms and all of his symptoms seem to line up with Pseudoparahypothyroidism. I’m beyond worried and we can’t get into see an endocrinologist for 6 months. My question is ... do children with this condition grow to normal heights or will he always be short? Thank you, Amy
