Eleanor went to the doctor a week after she turned three. My friend Sarah watched the two other kids so I could just take her, which was SO NICE. It's so hard to focus and talk to the doctor when all three kids are there. Dr. Calkins said Eleanor looks great and is developing really well. She's on the small side, but always has been and is staying on her growth curve so she's not worried at all. I just worry a little when she's sick because she has less appetite and I feel like she doesn't have much wiggle room to lose weight! She gained a pound since her last check up at 2.5 years. The doctor said her talking is above where it needs to be! And Eleanor did a great job listening and letting the doctor check her over. She was very proud when the doctor said she was her best patient that day. :)
Eleanor's Stats:
-Weight 26.8 pounds (12%)
-Height 36.5 inches (32%)
Unfortunately Eleanor has been congested and coughing lately. It was lucky we went in because she has an ear infection in her right ear and a tiny bit of pnuemonia in her left lung. After one day of antibiotics I can tell she's already feeling better.
Also a few weeks ago Eleanor had a heart murmur check up at Childrens with cardiology. Bennett was at school and my friend Val watched Isla so that Brad and I could focus on Eleanor. Her cardiology thinks everything looks better and is healing on it's own so she should be just fine and never need any surgery. This was such great news! Eleanor did great laying still for the echo (I laid with her and we watched Mickey Mouse). She got a big toy pony for doing a great job. We will go back before kindergarten to do another check. Praise God!
