We had our pedi appointment to see what she had to say about Micah's weight today. He lost 4 ounces since last week (I knew based on his eating that he wouldn't have gained this week but I was at least hoping he didn't lose - but he did.) She looked him over and then gave us orders for the lab so we get to have blood drawn (5 different tests) and an x-ray to check for his bone age. If he bone age is low that's actually going to be a good thing she said because that means he's just growing slowly. She also said she commonly sees a slower growth in babies that get teeth later. She also noticed a little bit of fluid in his right ear but as he had some congestion she thought it could be from that. She went ahead and gave us a prescription for an antibotic just in case he spikes a fever, gets grumpier, acts like it's bugging him and has turned into an ear infection so we don't have to go back so soon if it does come to that - hopefully it won't though.
