Doctor Visits

The past 3 weeks have been filled with Logan getting his well baby check up and then up to Columbus to see his eye doctor.

Logan now weighs 29 lbs. 6 ozs. and is in the 60th percentile for his height (I forget how tall he is). The doctor is concerned that he is not growing in height as he is in his weight...Logan will be going to Columbus to see a pediatric endocrinologist..He did some blood work, just 3 tubes out of his right arm..but he did great, I cried more than he did (a CBC, thyroid panel, cortisol levels and a BMP) everything came out ok....some of the levels were abnormal , but the docotor assures me that it is ok for his age ranges..(I only called him 3 times concerning the values)..I guess it was he nurse in me coming out!!

I was very disappointed in the last visit to the eye doctor...He could not look in Logan's eyes because it was nap time and he was being a little fussy...HELLO...he is 17 months old and you are a PEDIATRIC eye doctor...He stopped the atropine eye drops that were dilating his left eye...I asked him about surgery and he said it was an option anytime...could have even done it when he was 6 months old....but since Logan was not "cooperating" he could not get measurements of his eye...The doctor has always said we could do surgery when Logan's eye got stronger...
I went home and did some research on the Internet, then consulted an eye doctor I work with at the surgery center...Logan has an eye appointment with Dr. Hertle in Pittsburg in September...He does an eye procedure in which 4 of the eye muscles are cut instead of just 2..he also sees lots of children with ocular albinism...I guess I should have taken him months ago..oh well

Logan is saying all sorts of words these days.....up, nite nite, i dont know, thank you, ball, no-no, if you ask him what his butt says--"pughh" (the babysitter taught him that, but it is pretty cute), his heart says "beat beat", he still loves all types of berries, yogurt, vegetables (I can offer a cookie or a berry and every time he takes the berry, cant believe he is my child), burgers, watermelon, mandarin oranges, he is walking great...he has had a few run-ins with corners and falling, he has some issues with his depth perception.

Hope everyone has a great week...will try to update the blog better!
