Brandon went to the pediatrician today for a weight check. He now weighs 22 pounds, 2 ounces. The pediatrician was happy with his weight. He has gained almost 2 pounds since March. From October-March he couldn't get past 20 pounds, 6 ounces. The pediatrician did think a lot of it had to do with the fact that he had started walking and was so active. He is still less than the 5th percentile for his real age but at least he is on the chart still. I am so happy he finally cleared the 22 pound mark.
While we were at the pediatrician he listened to Brandon's lungs and said he sounds good. We discussed starting him on singulair and he gave us some free samples of the chewable for Brandon to try. He said it should help with allergies and asthma. He also suggested using flovent and giving him puffs instead of pulmicort on the nebulizer. I am going to call the pulminologist tomorrow to see if that is okay with him. If it is we will do that. I think it will be much easier to give him 2 puffs then to do a 10-20 minute nebulizer treatment depending on which medicine he is doing with the nebulizer. Brandon HATES the nebulizer. He also said that by looking in Brandon's nose he thinks he has a cold but he is doing ok with the cold.
