We had another trip to see the pediatrician this morning for Amelia's two year well-visit. We see Dr. J all the time with three kids and I can't tell you how happy I am that I actually like him. The children love him and Jason and I love him too. Being a military family we always prepare ourselves for worst-case scenario when it comes to health care providers. We went round and round with the pediatricians on base last year and after months of requests were finally approved to see an off-post civilian practitioner.
This morning's visit was supposed to be a pretty routine check-up. I totally didn't expect Amelia to projectile vomit while I'm driving down the highway. Thankfully I was going to the mall to return a shirt of Bella's after our appointment and had that to put on Amelia. Just a day in the life.
Amelia is growing and is in the 25 percentile for weight and 75 percentile for height. I'm a little skeptical on the height because she seems so little compared to other 2 year olds. The doctor was impressed with how much and how clearly she speaks.
The doctor also checked Will's ears while we were there. He has been displaying classic ear infection symptoms. Again. He has another double ear infection. It is his third since the beginning of December. Today Will received a shot along with the mega antibiotic. We have a follow-up visit in two weeks to see if it is completely gone. I am hoping this is our last ear infection this year. The doctor already told me if he has 4-5 in one year or has a persistent ear infection that doesn't respond to antibiotics we need to start looking at having tubes put in. I know it is a simple, common procedure but I would like to avoid any surgeries if at all possible.
