1 Year WellCheck & Shots!

[ColtonsMom]

Well, we just got back from Coltons one year check up and his shots..
They did three shots and he will have three more at 15 months..
Then after that we had to go to the hospital and get his Iron Levels checked because his previous doctor (who had his licenses suspended now..long story) didn't do them at 9 months like they said he should have!! So they pricked his finger and he screamed and screamed while they squeezed it to get out blood
After that he passed out on the way home. I gave him tylenol, poor baby and he is asleep now still.

Anyways.. his weight is 24lbs 13oz. He only gained 1oz in 3 MONTHS! Normally he gains 1lbs a month. She said he went from the 97 %tile to the 71 %tile, so she isn't worried because he isn't underweight but she prescribed some REAL reflux medicine because he is still getting sick once a day (dinner time, but sicks up his lunch too.. posted about it before), she said his previous doctor had him on NAUSEA medicine!! Not even medicine for reflux.. so she said if it doesn't get drastically better (aka NO more puking) in the next couple of weeks then to call and she would refer us to a gastro(something) doctor at Vanderbilt (huge hospital about 2 hours away!).
His height is 30.5" though, so he is in the 91 percentile for that!
He's also REALLY REALLY active (wouldn't even sit still at their office ) so he probably wont put on as much weight as he was before, and she said everything else was perfect and that he was great!

Aw hun, hope he gets the reflux sorted. And sounds like he is doing good for weight and height Like you say he is really active now so wont gain as much XxxX

 

[JennyLynn512]

Sounds like your appointment went great hun. I wouldn't worry too much about the weight...he sounds pretty tall, so all of his growing is probably going toward his height instead of his weight. Plus if he's anything like Valerie right now, then his activity level is through the roof! Hope the meds help out with the vomiting!

Hope the new meds work out

 

[brownhairedmom]

What! Nausea meds?!

I'm sure he's fine weight wise, he's runnin around everywhere sure!

I hope the meds work

If it's any consolation, Lily was 1 two weeks ago and weighed a teeny 18lb 11oz! Although there were no concerns about it.

His meds have to be given every 12 hours. So, I figured I would do 8am and 8pm. I put some in his mouth at 8pm and he gave the awfullest face! So, I just put the rest in his bottle. Sat down on the couch to feed him and he VOMITED EVERYTHING FROM DINNER AT 6 ON MY LAP! OMG! I was gagging, and gasping for air through my mouth so I didn't have to smell it! It was horrid! Never giving it to him orally again.. ONLY IN DRINKS!
