Update

So Brendan had his "18" month well child visit yesterday.

Here is the results.

Height: 33 1/2 inches tall
Weight: 33lbs
Head Circumference: 50 1/2 cm

So he is growing really well. Runs, climbs and does everything that he should be doing physically.

Now I brought up the speech problem again and she feels that it is an expressive speech issue and that we are going to get started and Early intervention (Speech Therapy) Which should help with that. She doesn't think it is a hearing issue since he understand what we are say and will follow directions when he feels like it. Like yesterday during the visit he did everything I told him to do.

He had a 100.4 fever Saturday night and was rubbing his ear a little that night as well but he was fine on Sunday so I had her check his ear to see if it was infected again and sure enough it was. He was put on Omicef and she is referring us to an ENT specialist since he has had 3 EIs in 4 months all in the same ear.

He also had two shots and blood taken to check lead levels.

That is pretty much Brendan in a nut shell from yesterday.

I also asked her about some stuff with Raymond and Gabriel.

Raymond has been coughing a lot especially after running around, talks to fast or gets really excited. She decided to do a two week trail of an albuterol inhaler. If that helps him with the coughing the he most lightly has activity induced asthma.

Gabriel has always gotten motion sickness traveling on planes but he started to do it more on car rides as well, anything over an hour he gets sick, so she put him on a medication for that. When we went to our family BBQ on the Sunday before Memorial Day he got some mosquito bites, the next morning they had swelled to four times their original size and it took two days worth of benadryl for the swelling to go down. If it happens again he has to go back to see the allergist to be tested again she thinks he has an allergy to something in the mosquito's saliva.


So that is the medical aspect of the boys. Other than that all is well.
