15 Months

Note:  This post has been dated for the actual date of Q's 15 month well baby but as I'm writing this she is actually 17 months, because of my delay this will likely be a brief post and will include information concerning the 2 appointments with the specialists she was referred to.  My apologies, I'm behind!

At 15 month's Q weighs 21½ pounds and is 31 inches long and she is still not walking.  Because of this her pediatrician wanted us to take her to see a pediatric neurologist.  During the course of her checkup he (the pediatrician) heard a heart murmur that he wanted to have checked out further so he also referred her to a pediatric cardiologist.  Other than these 2 things, she checked out perfectly.

We were able to get her in to see the Neurologist the following day, he said everything seemed normal but he wanted to have some blood work done just to double check and make sure there were no neurological defects going on...all turned out fine but she goes back for another checkup in January.

In early December she went in to see the Cardiologist and while she does have what is referred to as an Innocent Murmur, it's not something that we should be concerned about.  If it remains at the age of 5 she would like us to return and have her checked again but for now, we were told not to worry, it will not have any affect on her day-to-day activities.
