Thankfully we had our 18-month well baby visit this morning, because S&Z have been sick for the past few days and they needed to be seen by someone before the weekend was upon us. It ends up that they both have croup and Silas has an ear infection that is a result of the runny nose and cold-like symptoms that go with the croup. Until he gets allergy tested, we are avoiding amoxicillin (he got a rash the first time he had amox this winter) so he'll be treated with a round of azithromycin. Zoe has had some stridor associated with the croup, so she got an oral treatment of prednisone before we left.
Otherwise, the appointment went great - no tears or fussing - probably because there were no shots :) Here are the stats!
SILAS:
35-1/4 inches (98th percentile)
27 pounds, 15 ounces (74th percentile)
ZOE:
33-1/2 inches (89th percentile)
25 pounds, 7 ounces (64th percentile)
Hopefully they will feel better over the weekend. They haven't wanted to eat hardly anything, but are drinking plenty of water and milk. We are hosting the entire Dutra clan on Sunday for a BBQ to celebrate a late Easter and early Mother's Day. Pictures to follow!
