jake's 5 year well check



Weight: 40lbs 0oz (fully clothed) - 25-50 percentile
Height - 43.75" - 50-75 percentile
(So he gained 5lbs  and grew 3.25" this past year.)

This check up was a breeze.  He is tracking right along his same growth curve and doing great. He passed all the developmental milestones as well.  The doctor commented that she could tell  a huge difference is his speech. We talked about how Jake always seem tired even though he gets about 11 hours a sleep a night so they are going to test his thyroid especially since there is a family history of thyroid disease. I have to take him to beaumont for the blood test. Not looking forward to that but it will be quick. Even though I was concerned about him still needing a pull-up at night Dr. Elton said 20% of five year-olds still need it and it is not an issue. Her only suggestion was to put a little potty seat in his room at night.  He is going to stay on flonase and zrytec for now since they are working well for him.
