The girls both had appointments with Dr. Byrne (their PCP) today. Kyra's was a 15 month well-check to check on how her weight/growth rate was doing and she had a couple vaccines due since she's on a little more spread out than normal vaccine schedule. She weighed 20lbs 4oz, is now 30 inches tall and has an 18 inch head which puts her between the 5th and 10th percentile for weight (back up in the "normal" range) and between 25th and 50th for the other two. Paige weighs 11lbs 7oz (exactly two lbs more than at birth but she did have a SLIGHTLY wet diaper so we'll see what they say about weight at her appt. tomorrow), is 22 inches long and has a 15 inch head which puts her at about the 95th percentile for weight, between 50th and 75th for length and right smack dab at 50 for her headsize. I just find it funny that one of our girls is just barely hanging on at the bottom of the normal range on the weight chart and the other is almost falling off the top! They did both have very nice, healthy looking growth curves today though. :) Dr. Byrne is still feeling a small click in Paige's hip so she'll be having an ultrasound for that and at the same time they'll check her renal system as renal problems are sometimes associated with aural microtia (the official diagnosis on her ear.) She is also now officially referred to go see a geneticist regarding possible causes/complications related to the microtia and to see the ENT that the pediatric audiologist suggested who will also want to schedule her for a CT scan on her ear. Once you add in to that the early childhood intervention appointment we're waiting on a call about and her regular well-baby/vaccine appointments, that poor girl is going to be booked up for months to come!
