sassies

An update from his pulmonologist appointment about a week ago:

Tonsils very big and touching. The doctor couldn't even see to the back of this throat. We are awaiting his upcoming appointment with the ENT to see if we are going to get his tonsils out. He is still having ear drainage (although not as much since he has been on his new med) but none the less, it's still there.

He weighed in at the appointment 26 pounds 4 ounces and 34.5 inches long. Dr. M was very very excited. The cookies, cake and pancakes are paying off!!! He is not in the 10th percentile for height and weight (better than the 4th percentile last appointment!)

He also started Jack on a nasal spray for allergy type symptoms. Let me tell you how fun a nasal spray is with a 2.5 year old. NOT!

Eye appointment update:

NOT GOOD!!! We just switched eye doctors. He only had to go once a year and last appointment the dr said he was a bit near sighted but nothing major and didn't require glasses. I really didn't think much about this appointment at all. Just a yearly check up. Much to my surprise the dr said that he was a -2.00 in his right eye (exactly the same as Matt which is not good for such a young little peanut) and a -0.75 in his right. So..........his sassies (glasses...that's what Jack calls them) are on order. The dr. seemed a little perturbed that his eye sight was that bad and that he wasn't in glasses already and wanted to know what his prescription was last time. So he is getting medical recs from the other dr. and see where the ball was dropped. Not that there is anything we can do now. He said that near sightedness doesn't get better in kids like far sightedness does but hopefully we can slow the progression of it getting worse. Who knows?!!? And hopefully he will keep the darn things on, which i think he will for a time. He loves to wear his sun-sassies!!!!

I think that's all I have for now. I have no pictures to post at this time, but I'll add a few from last year at this time and the year before that, just to see how much he has grown!!!


ENJOY
