Sean’s Well Visit

February 25, 2004 on 8:05 pm | In Main |

Sean made his 4 year well visit to the doctor today. They took his blood pressure for the first time, and Sean wasn’t too thrilled with it. We had to convince him it wasn’t going to hurt before the aide could take the measurement. Sean is 40 and 1/2 inches tall and he weighs 41 pounds. This puts him at 75% weight and 50% height. Of course, Sean barely has any fat on him at all, so he certainly is not overweight. The doctor asked if we had any concerns, and Cortney and I both mentioned the potty training. The doctor suggest we have Sean not wear anything at all below the waist. Even the underwear gives a false of protection, and is more likely to result in an accident. After the doctor checkout, what Sean feared came to pass. He had three vaccination shots to endure. Well, at least he calmed down before it was time to board the bus for school.

Poor Ethan. Even though Sean has a clean bill of health, Ethan isn’t doing so well. He has diarrhea, and is teething. The doctor thinks the teething is actually causing the teething. At any rate, Ethan was definitely out of sorts today.
