18 month doctor's checkup

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.
