6 Month Checkups

As many of you know, there are often certain appointments that reoccur every six or so months. For us, they all seem to be on the same time frame, which makes it easy to remember but also makes for a busy few weeks. We have somehow gotten our dentist appointments, ENT, Cardio, and Developmental Ped appointements all running within the same 2-3 week period. Cameron did great at the dentist this time. 6 months ago, he was very reluctant to even allow the hygienist to put a regular toothbrush in his mouth. This time, he let her polish his teeth with the dental tool and real prophy paste. It did take some reasoning, but I was very proud of him. ENT went well too. While Cameron's hearing is good and he doesn't get many ear infections, we see the ENT every 6 months to have his ears cleaned. I'm always surprised to see the amount of wax they pull out of his tiny ears. He doesn't like having this done, but it's the only way to get it out at this point. He fought terribly and required me and a nurse to hold him while the doctor removed the wax. When it was all finished he went to the doctor and said "sorry". It was so cute. Our last appointment was with the developmental pediatrician. This is the doctor we love so much. He said that Cameron scored 85% on the developmental testing they did, which is considered in the normal range. He said that while Cameron's coordination is definitely a problem, he totally understands on the level of a typical 4 year old. YAY! Next week we go to the cardiologist for a check up and I'm sure we will leave there with more good news.
