2 year check up

We survived our 2 1/2 hour 2 year check up!  We started off with weights and heights:

Ben: 33 inches & 26.1 lbs
Nate:  33.25 inches & 24.6 lbs
Sam:  34 inches & 27.6 lbs

The weight rank continues to be the same since birth.  The disparity between Nate & Sam continues to grow, but they're both on good tracks so they're not concerned (but I am).

They didn't need any shots, but we decided to get them flu shots while we were there.  Nobody cried!  It was amazing. 

They did need to be tested for lead, that involved a finger prick.  I also wanted them tested for food allergies (since Dave is allergic, I always worry).  That invovled 3 tubes!  Ben had already had his done (and he was clear), so it was just Nate & Sam for the full on blood draw.  That wasn't so much fun...

They also had their hearing tested.  Eli had failed his at his 2 year appt and that's how we discovered his hearing loss and the need for 2 surgeries (T&A then tubes) to correct it.  Sam failed on his left ear and the other 2 guys passed on both.  The doctor noticed a ton of wax in Sammy's ear so she suggested we do some "DeBrox" for a month and then go back for a retest. 

Sammy also has some serious scaly scalp issue.  She suggest we use some special shampoo and then check up on it later.

Ben's lungs sounded good, but we're back on the puffer for him as a preventative measure.

She was pleased with Nate's physcial improvements and the fact that the other 2 guys don't get EI any more.

All in all, it was a good, but looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong visit.  So glad we only do that once per year now!!!

Keep your fingers crossed the allergy tests come back with no findings!!!
