Took Julia to the pedi today for her 3 year check-up. She was 38 inches tall and weighed 38 pounds. They also pricked her finger for a blood count and for the first time, took her blood pressure. Everything was great. They also wanted to check her urine. Unfortunately, I did not realize this and she went to the bathroom right before we left home. We finally got her to use the restroom right as we were getting coats on to leave. The white count in her urine was high, so now they want me to bring them a sterile sample so they can re-check it and culture it. Sounds like she might have a bladder infection, although she is not showing any other symptoms of one.
During the appointment, a lady from the local Children's hospital stopped by and needed a picture of our pedi. The pedi asked if she could take a picture with Julia in it. So I had to sign a release form.
Since Jude has developed a nasty cough, I made an appointment for the pedi to see him at the same time. It seems he has just caught the same cold the rest of us have been fighting for the last month. She is having me give him breathing treatments, though, to help open up his airway so he can cough all the junk up. They did a treatment in the office right away and he handled it pretty well, MUCH better than Julia did the first time we had to do them on her! Jude showed no other signs of being sick, no fever and just as happy as even. He just has a cough, which brings up phlegm, which he then chokes on. So this cough is waking him up at night.
Unfortunately, I loaned my breathing machine to my sister for my nephew. Luckily, she was almost done with it and I will drive up there tomorrow to get it.
