Wednesday 21 July, Kinzie and Nicholas both had well child check-ups. Both are completely healthy, and right on track developmentally. Kinzie had her vision tested, and as of now, doesn't need glasses (yay!)
Nicholas was 27 lbs, 33.5 in and 60% in height to weight ratio.
Kinzie was 29.2 lbs, and 38 in, with a 20% height to weight ratio.
Thursday 22 July, I had a follow up endocrinology appointment. My thyroid level, which is supposed to be between .03 and 3.4, was .47 (yay, last time it was 42!) At 1st the physicians assistant that I see, thought my medicine level might be TOO high, they don't want me to become HYPERthyroid (having no thyroid makes me hypothyroid). So she said I need to have labs redone the 1st week of September with a follow up visit the last week of October. After I left the clinic she called the house about an hour later, to say she is now wanting my my levels to be even LOWER than 0.47, so I had to go back and get labs done that day, in case they want to up my dosage! Other than that, everything is looking good, I even lost some weight! Woo-hoo!
Friday 23 July, Charlie had an appointment to check his hearing and vision before Kindergarten. His hearing was perfect, but his 'lazy' (for lack of the PROPER word) eye, was very apparent, and the dr referred us to an optometrist. He hasn't seen an ophthalmologist since before we left Germany, so I was almost expecting it. He weighed 36.4 lbs, and was 42 in tall. I didn't take him, so I don't know what percent that is, but he still looks tiny to me!
Future appointments: I have to go to back to Utah the 1st week of August for my 6 month post surgery follow up. I can't believe it's been 6 months already!
Mike has to go to the dentist to get a special mouth guard because we found out he has sleep apnea, if the mouth guard doesn't work, he will most likely have to have surgery.
Charlie goes to the optometrist the day after school starts! I will be praying that we only have to patch his eye. They told us back when we 1st noticed it, that if we couldn't control it with glasses and patching, he would have to have surgery on it.
I think that's about it for now! This has definitely been an interesting medical year for us! And expensive, if not for military insurance!
