Annual physical notes

[wedding]

Hi, are we still doing this? I like to see how much vino and @flamingos boys are towering over the rest and just get an idea where everyone is at.

C had his today
We discussed Cs knee pains that he has almost daily. She thinks he has Osgood-Schlatter disease, which dh has, and can cause growing pains in the knees to be more painful. There’s not much to do except note if certain activities make it worse. But it’s hard to know since he is so active all the time.

He has also had recurring bouts of diarrhea. She thinks it’s food related and I’m pretty sure it’s that he will only eat grapes as a fruit right now. We are taking a grape break to see how it goes and continuing the probiotic I started him on last month. We are going to recheck in a couple of months and will test for celiac at that time. Mostly as a precaution since I have autoimmune diseases. *i have no idea what I would feed this picky ass kid if he has that so I’m not thinking about it*🙅🏻‍♀️

He has peeling foot skin. He gets it every year but it seemed worse. She said it is something similar to eczema. I forget the word and to pumice it off if he will let me (he won’t) and keep his feet moisturized and not sweaty.

He weighs 54# (86th %) and is 46 inches (61%). Last year we were slightly concerned about his growth because he was growing wider and not taller but he grew 2.5 inches this year and is in a healthy ratio.

Interesting about the growing pains, wedding. Dude gets them pretty severely, too, but not usually in his knees.

I hope C gets some relief soon.

We had Dude’s last week and he was 47 inches and 51 pounds.

Nothing to note. After such a horrendous time with health problems during his first year of life, we’ve been really lucky the last several years.

Col had his appointment on Monday. No real concerns though he screamed and cried over his finger prick and then again for his flu shot. He got his hearing tested and there were no issues there.

He's 46.5 inches and 52lbs - he finally grew 3.5 inches this past year after multiple 1 inch years.

Ds grew a ton in the last six months!!! He is clocking in at 37.5lbs & 45inch, which is huge improvement from the 31lbs and 42inch he was in early May. I’m so happy .

[wineallthetime]

Oh. Is this where I admit that I FORGOT to make C's appointment? Realized last week so he will be going in January. Mom of the year!

B had his check up yesterday, no concerns at all health wise. The earlier appointment in the day at the dentist has me booking him in for surgery for filling replacements and a cap while battling an infected tooth, poor kid.

Height: 50.5 inches
Weight: 58 lbs

[klong11]

47 inches, 53.6lbs

She's still 90% for weight and 75%ish for height.

Everything looks good. She said to just watch for other symptoms with the stomach pain, like fever, vomiting, lethargy, etc.

She got a flu shot and started crying as soon as the nurse asked if I wanted her to have one. So dramatic. She was fine as soon as she got to the car and got Skittles.

[trtlcrzy]

46lbs, 42.5in

No concerns from the dr, everything looked good.

T went yesterday. He’s 51 lbs and 48 inches. The doctor asked a lot of questions and he gave very detailed answers which she said were advanced for his age. I was happy because lately when people talk to him, he sometimes hides and refuses to answer them at all. She asked “who lives with you” and he gave each of our names, ages, and whether or not we are nice to him. We all passed except his oldest brother.

That’s hilarious.

M was 46 lbs and 43” tall. She might have ringworm in her shin so I started putting cream on it Tuesday. We’ll see if it gets any better or not.

[klong11]

kim22 lucky, all Cadence would do was give thumbs up or down. 🤦

That's awesome lol.

I had no idea growing pains started so early. I'm sorry your boys are hurting, wedding and cagoldi

Maggie is 42.9 pounds and 3'8", which I guess is 44 inches. Her curve has been absolutely the same since birth, smack in the middle or just below; it's really kind of cool to see. Passed the hearing and vision tests and no concerns.

[chrisy01]

So lo is a runt (kidding sort of). He’s 3’ 7.78” (20%) and 50lbs. (75%)
His eyesight and hearing is perfect.

Doctor said to just watch what he eats which I already do. Not sure what more I can do.

[slenle]

N is 47in and about 52lbs. Roughly 80th percentile for both. She lost her 4th tooth at school this week. She lost her first two in March and then the next two just this week, and two more are loose.

[tallb]

J is 48.5 inches and 53 lb. All looks good for him, just need to push the water and maybe start a prebiotic since my kids don't eat yogurt and could help with digestion.

[lahdeedah]

M is 45.5 in and 46 lbs. He was shy and didn’t want to answer the doc. All is well, but we have to start Flonase twice a day, just as we suspected. His turbinates are extremely swollen and inflamed, it usually happens in the spring and fall when we notice his breathing sounds and snoring. She said it may take a few months of the twice a day before they get back to normal size.

Josie had her visit this morning.
She’s 44 inches and 41 pounds (25% for both).
It was a quick visit and they got their flu shots.
