18 month check up...


and FOUR shots...OUCH! So we went to get Avery's 18 mo. check up...Dr. Miller came in to check her out and make sure that she was healthy...and she passed! PRAISE THE LORD! She weighs 25.4lbs(50%)and is 32 1/2 inches long(75%)...we talked about her vocabulary and how it is coming right along, physically she is trying to accomplish everything that Brenly does...She has just gotten so big! We also had to talk about her kidney/bladder issue! She got diagnosed last Dec. with Stage 2 bladder reflux and has been on a daily antibiotic ever since! The hope is that she will grow out of it and never have any more problem with it! So we talked about getting her re-tested and Dr. Miller suggested that we stay on the antibiotic until Dec and then get re-tested! So please pray for Avery's little kidneys/ bladder that God has corrected the problem and that we won't have to go through surgery to correct it! Then the nurse looked at me and said, "Since you forgot her 15 mo. check up.." WHAT? I had no clue that she needed a 15 month check up..Whatever?!?! So b/c I forgot the last checkup Avery had to get FOUR shots in her legs...and it was awful! Normally they are really fast and before she realizes that they got one shot all of them all usually over! However that was not the case yesterday! She gave her one shot...fumbled around trying to get a band-aid on, took her time to give the second one, fumbled with another band-aid, etc...It was the longest series of shots that I have ever held a child down for...and then had the nerve to tell Avery (as she is screaming bloody murder) that she needed to lay still and not to move...Are you for real? Anyway...she got the shots and she was NOT happy for the rest of the day! However that was her last series of shots until Kindergarten! YAY! I am just so thankful that Avery is happy and healthy and is growing so big! God has given her such a funny little spirit and I just pray that He continues to mold her into the woman of God that He has created her to be!
