Kamryn's Check-Up



Today was Kamryn's 4-month well-child check-up and immunizations. Things went alright, but not great. First, her stats: Weight: 15lbs, 3 oz (72%), Height: 25 1/2 inches (82%), Head Circumference: 17 inches (91%). She is definitely on the large size, but her growth curve has stayed consistent, so there are no worries there.

She checked out fine on all other areas except for a bulge on her right forehead above the eye. The doctor does not think it is a serious problem (no tumors or anything like that), but he wants to have it checked out just to be on the safe side. So we will be taking her to Children's Craniofacial Center. Once the office faxes over the referral we can make an appointment and then we go from there. Because her head is sort-of flatter on the back left side, the doctor thinks that it might be the cause, but he wants a specialist to make sure. He told us that this is just a precautionary step and there is no need to worry at this point. Of course, there is always some stress and worry on our part (and I'm sure for some of you, too), but we trust that God is in control and that He knows what is best.

**UPDATE: Her doctor's appointment is in Seattle on Monday, August 18, at 2:00 pm.**
