Isaiah's 3yo check-up

Weight: 32 pounds (45%)
Height: 35 inches (7%)

Unfortunately, while Isaiah was in a very good mood, when it came time to weigh him, he freaked out. He refused to get on the scale, and crumpled on the floor crying. I had to weigh myself, then get on the scale holding him. The height is an estimate, because we had to take off his shoes which cued another meltdown. The crotchety ol' nurse asked "And how old is he?" during all this. You should have seen her face when I told her 3. Whatever.

Back in the exam room, he settled down and was mostly calm for the doctor. He still has his heart murmur, but Dr. said it still sounded fine and would leave getting an echo up to me (I declined, thinking if he thought it was necessary, he wouldn't leave it up to me, yk?)

Talked about his other issues a bit. He didn't have a lot to say, but did offer a referral for a one-time evaluation with a developmental specialist at UVA, just to get her opinion on Isaiah as a whole. He offered it last year, but I declined it as I felt it was jumping the gun a bit. However, I feel like it is the right decision now.

I called UVA, and his appointment is October 22nd. So, we'll see where the next part of our journey takes us!
