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!
