The results are in and we have an early October appointment with a pediatric neurosurgeon to hear what he wants to do. Mr. B., who is nine, has central precocious puberty, which is not uncommon in girls but rare in boys. Blood tests and ultrasound ruled out problems with the other pubertal hormone producers in his body. Leaving the pituitary gland at the base of his brain to be examined. Hence the MRI.
Indeed, it found a small lesion/tumor at the bottom of the gland apparently forcing the pubertal hormones early. His prediatric endocrinologist doesn’t think the neurosurgeon will want to remove it, but merely do another MRI in six months to check whether it’s grown. Monthly hormone shots for Mr. B. in the meantime (and for a few more years) of a type to reverse the condition until he’s the appropriate age, about thirteen. We hope the PE is right and not merely avoiding being the bearer of bad news. Doctors, being human, do that sometimes. We’ll know in October.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Oh gosh. I hope it’s a passing condition and will be overcome by hormone shots. And re your hope that PE, I am used to most doctors being on the gloomy side of the spectrum, trying to see the worst, so I hope you are wrong in your suspicions.
We’ll keep your fingers crossed here. Best.
They say the hormone shots will take care of the CPP. The lesion/tumor, however, may be another matter.
