We switched pedis. First off, Jamesen has a bump on his head where his soft spot is and when I took him in for his 4 month they didn't look in his ears, check and make sure he followed stuff with his eyes or even touch his head. And then the dr in the ER being a complete idiot... Yeah we switched.
My neighbor suggested Dr. Saifullah so off we went to him. The biggest thing that impressed me with Dr. S. is that he was so patient with Marcus who was climbing ALL over him. He didn't act like he was in a hurry to rush me out of there and get to the next kid and he listened to me. Reminded me of Marcus' pedi back in Utah.
The spider bite is looking good. The redness and swelling has gone down considerably so we're good on that aspect. The main reason for the visit was the bump on Jamesen's head. THANK GOODNESS it wasn't what I thought it was. I thought his soft spot was closing early and he was going to need surgery. Dr. S. said his soft spot looks just fine. It's on the small side, but plenty of kids have soft spots that size and it perfectly normal.
He did make a "WTHeck?" face when he saw the bump on Jamesen's head though. He's referring us to a neurologist to make sure nothings wrong. He says it's a vein running over top of it and doesn't think we should worry but wants to make sure since it's raised and "in a weird spot".
A funny though, 3 months ago at Marcus' 2 year appointment he weight 26 lbs. He now weighs almost 28. A month ago at Jamsen's 4 month appointment he weighed just over 16 lbs. Today he was close to 18 and a half lbs! Marcus was 18 lbs when he was like 10 months! It's crazy how kids can be so different even when they come from the same family!

I hope that the bump turns out to be nothing big. And I'm glad that the bite is healing well.
ReplyDeleteIt's great when you get a good doctor. I love mine.
And J's a chub! love it! He's only a pound behind Patrick!
Things that looked scary turn out to be ok and others that look nice turn out to be vey worrisome. That's what raising kids is like. Hope things go well with you and yours.
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad the boys are ok. That is really funny that J is twice as big as M was at that age.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found a pediatrician you like! Having one who isn't attentive enough or just rubs you the wrong way is a miserable thing to put up with.
ReplyDeleteHope the bump on J's head turns out to be nothing! I'm sure it's nothing
