Brody had his 15 month checkup today. Everything went very well. Brody is doing extremely well developmentally. He is very active, walking, running, climbing and attempting to jump. He is saying more than expected at his age. Brody was in the 50th percentile for his head size (exactly average), the 75th percentile for his height (2'8".. tall for his age), and the 20th percentile for his weight, (22 lbs, on the thin side.) Dr Hoder said he's tall and skinny. You'd never guess that from looking at him!
At Brody's last visit, he was diagnosed with a tibial torsion, which basically means he is pigeon toed. He sometimes trips over his own feet, but this happens much more when he is wearing shoes than bare feet. He was re-examined today and his Dr decided to hold off on sending him to an orthopedic specialist. There is no real treatment for this, and it isn't having a great effect on Brody on a day to day basis. Apparently "pigeon toed" people are more likely to be faster that non pigeon toed people. Go figure.
Today Brody also had two shots, (he didn't cry at all!) and repeated his lead test. We had to repeat the lead test because at his last visit, although the results were still in the normal range, hi lead count was on the high end of the normal range. None of the other boys have ever had an elevated lead result, and we repeated it to see if it was just a fluke or if there is something going on. I will know more in a day or two about that. When we bought the house we basically tore everything apart, so all of the baseboards/windowsills/walls are new, so I will be curious if it is still elevated.
All in all a great checkup!
I am currently without a phone, as I mentioned before, and I will be heading out in a few minutes to get a new one, so if you can, please send me your phone numbers so I can make sure I have them in my phone. I should have most numbers saved on my sim card, but I'm not sure if any new numbers I have entered recently were saved on it. Thank you!
Hope you are all doing well!
