Well I’m a slacker. I know that this is already widely known, but I figured I’d state it for the record.
David had his 15 month cardiology checkup on the 6th of October. There was literally nothing to report, so I haven’t felt particularly compelled to write this. But since the whole point of this blog is to help people keep up-to-date with David and how he’s doing, I figure I’d be a terrible person if I just never wrote a checkup post at all.
So here’s the update: nothing. In fact, our normal doctor was tending to an emergency at another hospital in town, so we saw the guy that I think they just hired as their 4th doctor. He listened to david’s heart, looked at his blood pressure and oxygen saturation, and basically said, “yup, looks good to me!” He increased David’s Enalapril dose a little bit in order to keep up with his growth (note to people with emergency info sheets - I will be sending you a new one), scheduled the 18 month checkup, and that was it. The truth is, we really only get checked once every 6 months. The ones in between that are just growth checks, just to let the doctor put his eyeballs on David and make sure he still looks fine. And thus far, he still does.
In other news, David is now walking like he invented it. The only time he crawls anymore is to traverse steps and to hide. He has gained an affinity for being chased around the house, so we do a lot of that. He still loves water, so he spends lots of time outside looking for puddles or other random collections of water in which he can splash. And since the weather is getting cooler and nicer, mommy and daddy are okay with this.
