15 Month Check Up

Well, I'm totally bummed because we thought that Joshua's weight was doing better but unfortunately it's not. He has lost weight and now is not even on the percentile chart for weight anymore - which means he is less than 3%. He did grow 2 inches and is in the 20th % on height but the weight is now a big problem. So after getting 4 different shots today he had to go get blood work done for further testing. Next week we have to go to a gastronologist (spelling). I'm anxious to hear what the blood work shows and hope that it's something really simple. Unfortunately, there can be some pretty serious issues and diseases associated with this weight problem that scare me to death but I'm trying REALLY hard NOT to think about them. Anyways, keep my little guy in your prayers. Otherwise, the doctor thought he was completely developmentally on target if not ahead - so at least that is good. So in the meantime, we will wait and see and hope for the best.
