Continuing to follow the tall & skinny route, the numbers:
20lbs 30z - 12th percentile
30 inches - 51th percentile
When the doctor walked in and asked how the little fella was doing and saw me reach for my piece of paper - he sat down. lol.
1st - The recent extreme discomfort while eating & drinking. He's been crying every time he eats or drinks & is having painful internal burps. Docs opinion: His reflux has flared up again. Teething & the stomach bug he had just recently may have contributed to this. Gave us a prescription for Zantac.
2nd - Bowel Movements. Always been an issue with Logan, continues to be an issue. We give him Miralax everyday. Docs opinion: If the Miralax is working, which it is...keep on giving it to him everyday. As he gets more mobile he thinks his bowel movements will become more regular and we can take him off the Miralax.
3rd - Lack of motor skills. He's doing the army crawl but thats it. I went from being able to check off all the developmental boxes at each of his "well visits" to not being able to check any. Docs opinion: He is now a bit concerned with his motor skills. He said normally he would just send us to a Birth to 3yr old specialist who would evaluate and follow his development but because Logan does have dialated brain ventricles he would like him evaluated by a nuerologist.
Thats that. Doc will call us next week with an appointment date & time for the nuerologist.
I just get a good belly laugh at this picture of Logan in his Elmer Fudd hat!
ReplyDeleteStay warm and thanks for the picture! Ecept for his cold and teething, Logan is growing just fine! Keep up the good work of raising him, mom and dad!
Love Tom
Just hang in there....Logan will be okay. He's just getting all this out of the way before he starts walking....He's doing his army crawl and that's a plus.....As far as his stomach thing-- listen to what the doc is saying. Maybe feed he smaller amounts....I just wish I was closer to yinz....anyway stay positive...Luv
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you how much I adore this picture!! My favorite list just keeps growing--just like Logan :)
