18 Month Check Up




While sitting at home yesterday watching Sesame Street with Max I decided on a whim that Max needed to get his 18 month pictures taken. I was shocked that we got straight in when I called and didn't really have to much in mind. I grabbed several different props and off we went. Max also had his 18 month appointment on Tuesday. Dr Edgmon made Max turn in his drama card at that appointment. He weighs 23.9 pounds and is 31.25 inches he is in the 20% for his age which is pretty good considering how he started out in the world. It was a thankfully uneventful visit he got a shot for Hep A and the doctor answered a few questions I had. Also I found out that Max doesn't have to go to a neuro specialist for a scan now like we thought. When he was in the hospital a few weeks ago they did the scan then and everything looks good. Also is turns out that I am not the only one giving Max bad things. His daddy has given him his bad allergies. All of his sniffles and coughing are all thanks to dad. I thankfully have nothing else major to report. Max is getting used to his Sure Steps and I am starting to see some improvement. I'm really hoping that walking is going to be coming soon. More to report next time.

Got my new kicks.

Yesterday was a very full day for the Browns. I went to work late because Max FINALLY had his followup appointment at the orthatist to get his Sure Step inserts. They are adorable and other than when Max has been in hospitals it is the most expensive thing I have ever had to buy for him. It will all be worth it though if it helps him like I hope it will. The inserts make his foot so wide that we had to get new shoes too. Maxwell also had his last Sooner Start appointment with Mrs Jamie. She is having her baby soon and we switched physical therapists to Mrs Mary. She seems very nice and I'm sure Max will love her too.

Hello Rosie!

Poor Max is turning out to be just like mommy contracting random things. I took Max to the doctor because he was still getting high fevers and had a cough with a runny nose. Yesterday Jeff called me and told me that Max had a rash developing all over his body. I was worried it was a form of strep or something but it turns out that it's Roseola. For the people who don't know that is a virus that has high fevers and a rash. Turns out the rash is the last part of the virus and at least the worst is over. I'm done saying that we are on the mend because I seem to be jinxing myself. So until next time.
