1 yr check up

Andrew had his one year check up today. The visit went really well. There was one step forward. The Doctor was happy that she had not seen him in about three months. That was our largest stretch not seeing her. Now for the stats. He weighed 18 lbs 1.5 oz which puts him at 1.5% on the growth chart and he was 28 inches which put him at 10%. We re-measured him two times because we didn’t believe that he grew that much. This was the most he has ever been on the chart. He got four shots and did really well with them. He only cried for a little bit. Now for the two steps back. She too is concerned about his right foot and the lack of control he has in his feet and legs. He has the strength to stand just having a hard time controlling the position of his foot. His arms also turn in when he crawls. He looks like a bull dog with bowed arms. So we are off to see an Orthopedist and a Neurologist. The Orthopedist will let us know if we need to brace his foot and if he can think of any underlying conditions that could be causing issues and the Neurologist will let us know if there is a delay in his brain telling his feet what to do. So we add two more doctors to our ever growing list of specialist.
