Well, three hours later we are back from the doctor. The doctor is concerned because Pearl actually lost weight from her 15 month visit. She also only grew a 1/2 inch. So he ordered a battery of tests. After our doctor visit, we headed over to the lab for blood tests and a urine test. We need to take three vials of stool back to the lab this week, too.
I am truly shocked that Pearl lost weight. She eats like a horse! Also, the "squirreling" of food we thought was so cute, is not a good thing. It leads to tooth decay and a host of other issues so the doctor wants us to see a occupational therapist for kids.
This was not the doctor's visit I was expecting. Pearl is a smart, healthy, happy kid. I will update the blog once I get the test results.
