Yesterday I took the kids to their 18 month appointment. It turned into a scare for me. We weighed the kids and Maddie ended up loosing weight. She is down to 17 lbs. So the doctor was extremely concerned. She took some blood and we are awaiting results (which will be a week). If all comes back fine then we are going to have to see a Gastrointestinal Specialist to see what is causing Maddie to not gain weight. This was scary to me at first, but after talking to family and friends I really just think Maddie has a high metabolism. Michael told me he and Amy both were small growing up and Cayden had the same testing done because they were worried about him as well. So my task now is to try and figure out how to put weight on her.
Zack did well. He too is below weight but not nearly as much as Maddie. She did refer us to get an asthma test done (finally a doc that listened to me) so we can for once and all figure out why Zack has his attacks.
I will update the blog when I hear more about Maddie.
