The doctor's visit went well for both boys today. Noah was seen for his four year old well child check-up. His vision and hearing tests turned out perfect. He weighed in at 62 pounds and was 45 inches tall. He really liked the doctor until time for his shots. Four shots in total, two in each leg. I thought it was hard giving him shots as a baby but at least as a baby he couldn't fight back! However, the doctor said he did very well compared to other children of that age.
Jonah's visit was for his four month check-up. He was up to 13 pounds 11 ounces and 24 inches long. Jonah had three shots and one oral vaccine. He did not like his shots but he thought Noah getting shots was very funny. Dr. Wheaton has suggested strongly that we do not return to the specialist. He thinks that the very first diagnosis of reflux was correct. He has put Jonah on yet another medicine. We are going to try this for a week and pray that it works. I have not decided yet if I am going to cancel my appointment for Monday with the specialist. I can't stand thinking that my child has gone through all of these procedures in vain. I want to wait and see how the next few days go.
Hopefully we are going to be getting Jonah better soon. The trip today was not bad but I do not look forward to the thought of making it every week. Before we even left home this morning Jonah had thrown up enough that I had changed my clothes twice and his three times. By the time we got to the doctor his entire outfit, the puke rag, and his blanket were soaked. Not to be out done, as soon as we got home Noah started coughing and threw up all over the living room carpet. If I had a dollar for every time I cleaned up puke I'm sure I would be a millionaire by now!
