Ben had his one year well baby visit today as well as his post-op visit. I must admit that neither appointment went as well as I would have liked.
At his well baby visit his stats are....
Weight-22.08lbs 35th percentile
Height-29.75inches 45th percentile
Head Cir.-18.5inches 65th percentile
All of these have dropped but the weight is the most drastic drop from his 6 month well baby check back in September and his 9 month well baby check back in December. He actually lost weight since the 9 month check!
The doctor is starting to feel more and more concerned about the lack of growing and lack of eating. Maybe soon I will do a whole post on that but tonight I just don't have the energy.
On a very positive note, she was amazed at how well he is doing with his motor skills and cognitive skills!!!! And, boy did he show off for her, LOL!
She wasn't too thrilled with how his ears looked and was glad he was going to see the ENT this afternoon for his post-op visit.
That visit was a real bummer for me. His ears aren't looking as good as we would hope. One tube is completely blocked and one has some discharge coming out. The ENT talked about putting him back on oral antibiotics but when I told him how many Ben has been on the past few months he decided to try just the ear drops for a while. He just finished his latest round of oral antibiotics on Wednesday. WHY AREN'T THEY WORKING????? Why can't this poor kid just get a break??? We go back in two weeks to see if they are better.
He has been coughing a lot the past couple of days and wheezing some too. He has needed a few breathing treatments after over two weeks of none.
I know people are sick of hearing about my kids being sick but that seems to be our life the past few months...
