I was so excited for Mason's 9 month well child exam because this visit is usually a break from vaccines and is just a fun age. Unfortunately, this visit wasn't as fun as anticipated. Don't get me wrong, it's always good to see Karen and Mason's visit was mostly good. But we've been battling one illness after another for three months. Sprinkle in teething and crawling and you have a little boy who's dropping on his weight growth curve. Karen wasn't super concerned but she does want to keep an eye on him and make sure that Mason gets all the good fats he can. He's still on the tall side and the top of the charts developmentally so I'm confident that his weight will catch back up with him. Karen did mention that Mason is one of the busiest babies she's ever met. This is nothing new to us!
Battling the latest round of crud, Mason's lungs were congested and this prompted Karen to try out an alubeterol nebulizer treatment in the office. The treatment helped his lungs a ton ( but didn't do much for Mason's mood) so we left the office shot-free but toting our own nebulizer and a prescription for albuterol.
Next check up is after his birthday! My how the time flies!
