Two year wellness check up

Yesterday I took Jackster in for his 2 year check up. He was very excited to be woken up from his nap at Victoria's for a early pick up. Little did he know what was to follow......

He loves the waiting room there with all the toys, t.v. and fish tank, he just hates the rooms and closed doors that follow. He weighed in at 33.2 lbs putting him at 89% for his age group. His height puts him in the 75%, and his head is tracking at 80%. Overall he did really well he was tested for autism and learning disorders, and passed them all with flying colors. He is tracking right on schedule for everything and excelling in motor skills.

Jack is never a fan of his nurses as they are always just about business and don't spend too much time trying to calm him down. Dr Thakker on the other hand is the nicest quietest man and so calming. Jack always seems OK when he comes in the room and he always spends time making sure Jack is comfortable. We are really lucky he is a great doctor and gives us guidance with things when we ask for it.

When listening to Jack's chest I could tell something was wrong as he stayed on his chest for a long time. He kept going back to it but I tried really hard not to jump to conclusions and ask a million questions. He finished up with the rest of the exam and then we went over all of Jack's progress. Then he dropped it! Jack has a heart mur mur, which can mean nothing at all or something is wrong. Either way hearing news that something could even remotely be wrong with your child is stressful. I remember when Jack was just born and they said he failed the hearing test twice! I started crying thinking of a life time of struggles for him. Your mind races a million miles at once and even though everyone says it is common to fail you cant help but think the worst and pray for the best!

So what does this mean for our Jack..... We have to take him to Children's hospital in Seattle to rule out any heart issues and make sure he is OK. He will be given a EKG to make sure this is just a standard heart mur mur and nothing more. I am anxious to get this apt made and get him in so my mind can be at peace again. In my heart I know nothing is wrong and I should not worry but it is a struggle.

Jack left with a total of 2 shots a hep part 2 series and the flu shot. When we got home he was treated with veggie chips and a few M&M's for good behavior.
