I finally found a doctor and made an appointment for Cooper and Charlotte. They start school this fall and I wanted to make sure they are completely up to date on their immunizations since CA and CO may have different requirements. They ended up with 2 shots each (boosters since the immunizations have changed since they got them) and we heard about it all.day.long. I felt so bad for them because I know it hurt.
We had a great experience at this office and I feel good about my choice. I hope that we don’t have to make a new choice when I get new insurance with a new job. The office is a pediatric office and super kid-friendly. They were on time, quick, great with the kids, informative and helpful. We really like the doctor. He is to the point, but friendly and answers all of our questions in detail. He also has experience with children exposed to meth in utero. That is important to us given Charlotte’s history.
We told him that Charlotte seems to struggle with sequencing and things that require her to use sequencing (getting dressed is a great example). He said that it’s probably best to just watch her right now and see how she does as she starts school. He thinks it could be a lack of focus or attention, which could later turn into ADD (common for children with her medical history), but that she is still within normal ranges for understanding sequencing. He said if it is still an issue after she starts school then we can seek out resources for additional occupational therapy.
Overall though the kids got a clean bill of health. They have great eye sight and are growing like weeds. Cooper is still gigantic at 38 lbs and 42 in tall, while Charlotte is at 50th percentile at 30.5 lbs and 38 in tall. Of course both of the kids will say they are ‘just right!’ when asked if they are too big or too small. Here are their growth charts:
