So today was the worst doctor visit for Tristan EVER! I mean we've had ear infections, hives, Plagiocephaly, and Torticollis aside from the regular visits and typical shots. Anyway, his check-up went good at first. They checked his weight, height, asked about his milestones, and how he was doing. Then came the finger prick and shots. He freaked during the shots and then they came back and told me his lead level was high and they were sending us to the hospital lab to get blood work done to see why his level was high (though it could just be because we live in an old house). So not only was Tristan upset about the 2 shots he had just gotten but I had to help hold him down for them to draw blood. He was crying so bad. By the time it was done (2 Bugs Bunny band-aids and 1 Garfield band-aid later), Chris's dad and I calmed him down with animal crackers and went home.
On the plus side, he is 34in tall and weighs 32lbs. His ears are fine, his motor skills are great, his speech is getting better. So he's doing great other than the high level of lead.
Here's some pictures from today...
And a cute video of Tristan's new thing to say... (sorry for the bad lighting, there are no lights in his room)
