Lupron: Your son's endocrinologist most probably wants to give the lupron not because of height, but rather to halt / slow down precocious (early) puberty, you can confer with him/her regarding this decision. However, having a second opinion is your right, but seek an expert, i.e. another pediatric endocrinologist, wish you and your son wellness
