In Medical News

First, the good news...

Last week I took Jack to see Dr. Albiek for his two year well visit. He did very well! We found out that he is 36 inches tall (95%) and 33 pounds (65%) so he’s still a tall boy and supposedly fairly skinny for his height (although he doesn’t look like he needs to gain weight to me!) The doctor was very impressed with Jack’s speech (Jack greeted him with a very clear, “Hi, Dr. Albiek!”) and his healthy eating habits (Jack has been known to refuse ice cream in favor of grapes). He told us to switch to 2% milk (which Jack did great with) and to start thinking about potty training (although he recommended waiting until 2 ½ to really start). Jack also had to have one shot but he was such a brave boy; he didn’t cry for more than a few seconds! After that, he cheered right up! He’s getting so big!

Now, the not so good news...

We just found out that Jack has another double ear infection. He has had one every couple of months for the past year so I am now pretty concerned about this, as is our doctor. He referred us to an ENT and we have an appointment scheduled on March 3. Please pray for Jack and his little ears!

Also, when we took Jack in for his two year will visit, the doctor thought he saw Jack’s eye cross at one point when he was reading a book. I have never seen this happen, nor has anyone else, but we are going to have it checked out just in case. I’m taking him to the eye doctor this Friday for a full check-up. Please pray for Jack and his little eyes!
