Collin had his 6 year check up last Thursday with a new doctor. His other pediatrician retired. I was a little sad because I really liked her. However, this gave us a good excuse to find a doctor closer to the house since our other doctor was closer to our "baby" house.
Our doctor is MUCH younger than the one we had before. Whew!!! Maybe she will not retire any time soon...hahaha. She was very personable and paid a lot of attention to Collin, even directing questions to him when she was asking questions about him. He did not care because his stomach hurt. We think he was nervous about getting a shot. So, his stomach could have hurt but he likely was just really nervous.
She said that Collin is doing really well. Even though he is smaller than a lot of other boys, she said that she is not worried because he has gained weight and gotten taller on the scale she was showing us which means he is doing great. She performed the physcial exam. Collin thought the reflex check on his knees was funny and started laughing. I think this helped his tummy too....because he was fine after that. He did not get any shots but did get a flu mist. He said later that getting the mist up his nose was the his least favorite of the appointment.
Here were his stats as of 10/10/13:
Blood Pressure: 88/58
Height: 3' 9" (25%)
Weight: 44 lbs (50%)
BMI: 15.28
We talked about how he is still wearing Pull Ups at night because he regularly wets the bed. She gave us several suggestions which we might try. It was just a busy week (most of them are these days) but even more busy because I had a follow up ultrasound appointment that has been on my mind for 2 weeks since the doctor said I needed one. Everything turned out great so I can breath a little sigh of relief.
