Yesterday we had your 2 month check-up with Dr Pelinka. It was a great visit! For once a doctor got to see you "real" and not on phenobarbital. Because before we were giving you the pheno twice a day, every time you saw a doctor you were on it. Therefore your tone always seemed to be "low". Well, now that we're giving it all at once at night, she got to see you hold your head up, sit up, try to stand, kicking with your legs. She was very impressed. She said you had absolutely no abnormalities and developmentally you're right on target.
You smiled at her, talked, and sang to her. She loved it! You have a little heat rash on your chest and a rash on your face, due to the viral cold you have. Since we hold you on our left side all the time, we need to start holding you on the other side too so your head doesn't end up malformed!
You got 3 shots yesterday, and boy did those suck! The nurse that did them I don't think knew what she was doing as far as giving them to a baby. She did them so slow! You screamed your head off as she put 2 shots in one leg and one more in the other. When we got you home, you continued to scream if your legs were touched or if you flexed them and used your muscles. I started giving you Tylenol around the clock and that seemed to help. Today you were a little "off" but much much better. Dr Pelinka wants to repeat the immunology studies one last time as recommended by the doctors at University of California so we'll do that next month. I couldn't do that to you the day you already got 3 shots!
Overall the report we got is that you are more than a normal baby with no abnormalities. You're right on target with everything.
Weight: 11lb 7oz (50% percentile)I think you might end up like daddy - tall and skinny. Your next check-up in 2 months, at your 4-month check up.
Love,
Momma
