Christopher's 15 month check up

Well it was nothing but bad news.

Christopher gained 7 oz in the past 3 months so he is complete dropped off the growth chart (he weighed in at 19 pounds 3 oz). His height did not grow at all. She was nice and just said "your kids do not follow normal growth patterns. At least she did not ask me about walking, since he will not walk unless he is holding on to something. He was wheezing so bad this morning that she made him take a breathing treatment right then and there and we have to continue them ever 4 hours from this point on. She then said it would be touch and go as to how long we have to keep going and how often. His ear infection is either back or never went away so he is now on amoxicillen. She does not know why the other doctor did not just put us on it before since it worked before.

So we are waiting for home health to bring us a nebulizer and then the meds to be ready to pick up at the pharmacy (said it would take at least an hour). We go back on 26th to get rechecked and then if all is well we do shots.

Needless to say I am a mess today.
