Last week I took Samantha in for her 8 year checkup and got a great report all around! She is 49 inches and 56 lbs. That is 25th % for height and 50th % for weight. She’s grown 1.75 inches and gained 6 lbs since her 7 year old visit. Dr. Crum said her BMI is perfect and she’s a healthy, growing girl!
Spencer at 8 was 51 inches tall (50th %) and 58.2 lbs (55th %). Maxwell at age 8 was 50 inches tall and 52.4 lbs.
She did have to get her finger pricked which she REALLY doesn’t like but she handled it so got some C is for Cookie ice cream after!
Unfortunately, my healthy girl didn’t stay healthy long! As soon as we got into the car after her appointment she said, “my throat kinda hurts!” Not sure why she didn’t mention that while we were actually in the doctor’s office but we got to go back up there the next day to get a positive strep test. No fun at all. She was pretty miserable for a day but then the antibiotics did her job and she was back to her normal, healthy self!
Thankful for antibiotics and good doctor reports!
Strep is not fun! Glad she is back to her old self!
Love good doctor reports!
I’m glad that they get regular checkups. Good health is a blessing.
So thankful for healthy kiddos!
