2 year old routine check up-healthy lung function

Yesterday I took Valentino to meet with Dr. Sami at Children’s Hospital for his regular check up/check in. Val now typically starts screaming and pitching a fit the instant the nurses come at him to weigh, take his temperature and check his height.

After we got all of his vitals, we were moved into the exam room where we waited to see Dr. Sami.

She gave us about 20 minutes to settle in and then kept her chair a substantial distance from Val as he was still upset and trying to calm down after his crying and screaming fit.

Dr. Sami inched her way, as we talked, closer and closer to Val and then played with him quietly and kindly to build his trust. I am ever grateful for such an amazing doctor. She takes her time and helps make the visit easier on Val instead of rushing through the exam while I hold Val down.

I was excited to find that his lungs are completely clear and sound perfect and he has moved up on the growth charts. Dr. Sami is pleased with his weight gain although still suggested bulking his calorie intake through the day by adding ice cream to his milk or half-n-half.

Val now weighs 25 lbs. and is 2 years old. He has healthy lung function and a normal throat swab (no bacteria).
