My father has central cervical stenosis and is partially paralyzed. A month ago, he developed a scrotal abscess that needed drainage. His sugar levels are too high for surgery, and the doctors say antibiotics aren't working because of his uncontrolled diabetes. What can we do in this situation? I'm really worried and don't know what steps to take next.

View allI'm a bit worried about my height because I'm 16 and only 5'3". My dad is around 5'7" or 5'8" and my mom's height ranges between 5'4" and 5'3". I've heard that having a beard at a young age might mean I'm done growing taller, and I have a lot of facial hair. My doctor mentioned that my hand growth plates are fused. Does this mean I can't get any taller or is there still a chance I might grow more?
