Logan went to see his doctor today.  I got him so excited to see his doctor that he even said “I do” when asked “who would like to see the doctor?”.   He did very well at the office, cooperating with the weight/height check and the physical exam.  During all this Logan was just happy to continue to doodle with a pencil. 

     Everything checked out well for Logan.  His lungs sounded great.  His new statistics are as below.  Logan is gaining more weight now and we’ve been told to switch him to low fat milk and have a more balanced diet with more vegetables and fruits. His head size percentile is also leveling off, no longer is he on the top of the chart.

Weight = 31 lbs 9.6 oz (88% up from 74% in January)

Height = 2’11’’ (72% down from 92%)

Head Size = 20’’ (94% down from 99%)

     After the doctor’s exam, Logan needed to go to the laboratory for a routine lab blood draw to ensure that he does not have any anemia or high lead level.  Logan certainly did not enjoy this part of the visit.  He started crying once the tourniquet was placed on his arm, and didn’t stop until I could finally remove the taped cotton ball.  Poor LoLo!
