It's that time of the year again. All these appointments. First, I should start off that Evan is a big, big boy. He's around 8th percentile for weight, 3rd percentile for height. Amelia is still "less than 3rd percentile" for both. That was their 3 year old check up.
As for Evan, we went to Seattle Children's to the back specialist and once again the doc says he looks great. You can see the extra piece of vertebrae and the little crook in his back when he bends forward, but he holds himself up perfectly straight. We will be going back for X-rays in May.
Did I mention before that his heart looks good from back in October? I think I did, I'm too lazy to go back and look!
Next up is: 1) a trip an hour and half away to Puyallup, WA to a new occupational therapist who is supposed to be great at making splints for kids with upper limb differences (that's if our insurance allows us, still waiting to hear), 2) down to Madigan Army Medical Center just past Tacoma for a pediatric optometrist, 3) down to Madigan AGAIN for the pediatric urologist, 4) Seattle Children's for his arms and hands, 5) Seattle Children's for his back, 6) another kidney ultrasound. And let's not forget therapy 3 days a week!!
I'm tired, slightly stressed, always anxious, and suffer from worry lines : P Oh, well. C'est la vie. It is what it is. Life is a bunch of chocolates, they are who we thought they were, yada, yada.
