It's that time of year again, well..actually it sorta kinda just finished and started all over again! Since both Caleb and Delilah were in need of their well checks this month...Caleb turning 6, and Lilah hitting 18mos...we headed into see good ole Dr. Mackey! It went far better than I had anticipated it would, seeing that we were JUST there a week ago for Molls..more on that in a few!
So we got started with Caleb, the nurse took him to weigh him, measure him, check his eyes and his ears. He did fabulous!! He passed both his hearing and his vision test..he has better sight than I do that's for sure!! He must get that from Daddy!! We also found out that he is a cute square!! He is 44lbs and 44in!! He didn't gain as much weight as the dr would have liked, but knowing about his "other" issues we weren't too concerned. Then on to the "fun stuff" shots! Because of his heart issues, my poor baby HAD to get a flu/H1N1..I have already signed the waivers for my other kids on the H1N1 issue...But after a conf. call with the ped. and the cardio dr, I was WAY outvoted!! The risk was just not something that I wanted to chance. And to top that all off, the cherry on the top of this sundae...He has an ear infection!! A BAD one too! But he gave us nada about it hurting him, I wish I had that kids pain threshhold!
Then there was Minnie Mouse! My sweet little Delilah Rose, little being the opperative word!! She weighs in at a cool 22lbs 4oz, and is a astounding 32in. This puts her in the 25% for her height, and weight!! Yeah, we're still not sure what happened between her and Molly....But other than being a "minnie" she is growing great! She is right on target with all her milestones, although there was concern about a possible speech delay; but I am confident that it has resolved itself, seeing how she is Extremely verbal!! And since she was a delight, Dr. Mackey let me know that she made his day! She was super cooperative during her exam, didn't wiggle or squirm at all! She's pro at this, seeing how she had to go through this twice a month between regualr well check exams and the ForOCKids sibling study that she was participating in.
Back to my Missy Molly...well I mentioned that we were at Dr. Mackey's last week for Molly....she was in for a physical for her MRI...yup I said M.R.I.. After being refered to the neurologist for frequent falling, and a subsequent appt. Dr. Morkus * the neuro dr.* decided that he wanted an MRI, Genetic Testing, Sleep Deprived EEg, Blood Work, a trip to the Opthamologist, Hearing test, Speech Eval., and PT/OT evals....oh and the MRI is with And without contrast. That means that she has to be put under general anesthesia..hence the need for a complete physical. So, we have gotten thru the blood work, physical for mri, genetics appt, hearing test, and sched the MRI. Still on the list is the Eye Dr, which we have an appt for in a couple of weeks, speech eval., all though she JUST had one so I am still up in the air with that one, Have to sched. the EEg, and the PT/OT evals. The OT/PT evals I really wanna get a jump on, learned something new when we saw the genetics dr...appearently Molly is Hypertonic...meaning that while she has muscle, and has moderate strength, she has low muscle tone. So weird!! I mean she has body mass, and we know she has strength.. it's just so crazy to think that she has low muscle tone!!!
So that is what is going on so far..Oh, so Molly weighs38lbs, and is 36in...WOW!! Still amazed at how fast my kids are growing up! Can't believe they are so big already!!
